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.

It's a bit dated now. A tale of growing up as a teenage girl in a very restricted Sicily. This is an abridged simplified Italian version and I think it probably lost some of its meaning because of this. Alternatively, it may have been my bad Italian!
