Not an easy ready at all, aside for the number of pages, for the type of Italian language of 1974 and some dialect thrown in. But a great book, with La Storia effect on ordinary poor people and also two dogs (especially Bella - turns out one of the main characters for me)

Forse la fine un po' troppo bella ma Teresa anche se un personaggio inventato se lo e' meritato tutto!

Did not get the irony at all
2 stars
Not because the scenario is impossible or the issue not to be discussed, but I remember mostly sex scenes and misogynist attitude from the main character which seem to justify the end point. Probably did not get the irony,
