ABOUT
THE BOOK
Michela Canova, a radio journalist, returns home to find that her neighbour, Angela Bari, has been murdered. Coincidentally, she is asked to prepare a series on crimes against women. Researching the programmes, Michela is forced to confront the every day horror and violence of big city life. Voices asks fundamental questions about the human condition. How much can individuals escape the patterns of domination, of male domination, that are in place the world over? Dacia Maraini is one of Italy’s most controversial authors. Several of her books have been translated into English.
Original title in Italian Voci published by Rizzoli (1994)
