Now a teenager, she terrorizes her hometown of Gela, having made it her mission to join the mafia, an organization traditionally forbidden to women as made members. Nicknamed \u003ci\u003e’a masculidda\u003c\/i\u003e, or “the tomboy,” Tina has taken charge of her own gang, and is notorious for her cruelty and reckless disregard for societal expectations.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e When a news article is published about Tina’s latest crimes, a teacher living in Rome feels compelled to write a novel about her—even though it means returning to her native Sicily to gather material. She and Tina circle around each other in a dangerous dance of obsession and violence until their first, and last, explosive meeting.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e This groundbreaking exploration of gender identity and clear-eyed presentation of an unseen side of the mafia is a landmark literary achievement by one of Italy’s feminist icons.","brand":"Soho Crime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44214105047295,"sku":"9781641294638","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781641294638_s600x595.jpg?v=1775595085","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781641294638","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
