About the author

Lara Cardella (born November 13, 1969 in Licata, Italy) is an Italian writer. She is best known for her best seller novel Good girls don't wear trousers.
Biography

Her first book Good girls don't wear trousers (in Italian: Volevo i pantaloni), written when she was nineteen, caused a scandal in the small Sicilian community where she lived because it fiercely criticized what she perceived as the backwardness and chauvinism of contemporary sicilian society. The controversy surrounding the book, as well as the young age of its author, contributed to make it a huge bestseller in Italy and the novel was translated in many languages and published across the rest of Europe, in Brazil and Korea.

Reviews

[Elena Mencarelli · Rating 2 out of 5]

Carino… forse un po’ troppo corto e poco sviluppato. Tutta la prima parte è dedicata a presentare i personaggi, mentre la “vicenda” si sviluppa tutta nelle ultime 30 pagine, terminando in un finale più che aperto.
In ogni caso, ho adorato il personaggio della madre: la perfetta descrizione della tipica suocera invadente e odiosa. Perfetta!
