In her previous novels - Rosso come una sposa (Einaudi 2008) and L'amore e gli stracci del tempo (Einaudi 2009) ¨C the author focuses her attention on the Balkans civil war and Albanian history.One of the main topics of her writing is the female condition in her country of origin: in her novels she portrays unconventional strong women, that, in spite of the basically patriarchal culture in which they are embedded, always represent the pillars of their families.IbrahimiĄŻs strong-willed female characters dismantle the stereotypical vision of submissive women that too often Italian readers have.Attention to gender issues, man-woman relationships and social and cultural conditioning are central in the writerĄŻs fictional world. %K Anilda Ibrahimi %K status of women %K migration %U http://www.altrelettere.uzh.ch/static/archivio.php?id_pub=9
