Über dieses E-Book

Eine Geschichte über Mutter und Tochter, wie sie noch nie erzählt worden ist. Ein Roman, in dem das archaische und das moderne Italien aufeinandertreffen.

Wie Mutter und Tochter leben Bonaria Urrai und die sechsjährige Maria zusammen. Die Bewohner des sardischen Dorfes sehen den beiden verwundert nach und tuscheln, wenn sie die Straße hinunterlaufen. Dabei ist alles ganz einfach: Die alte Schneiderin hat das Mädchen zu sich genommen und zieht es groß, dafür wird Maria sich später um sie kümmern.

Als vierte Tochter einer bitterarmen Witwe war Maria daran gewöhnt, »die Letzte« und eine zu viel zu sein. Nun hat sie ein eigenes Zimmer in dem großen reinlichen Haus Bonarias, wo alle Türen offen stehen und sie jeden Raum betreten darf. Doch ein Geheimnis umweht die stets schwarz gekleidete, wortkarge Frau, die mitunter nachts, wenn Maria schlafen soll, Besuch erhält und dann das Haus verlässt. Es scheint, als würde Bonaria in zwei Welten leben. Das Mädchen spürt, dass sie nicht danach fragen darf. Erst sehr spät entdeckt sie die ganze Wahrheit.

Michela Murgia erzählt in einer schnörkellosen, poetischen Sprache aus einer scheinbar fernen, doch kaum vergangenen Welt. Von zwei Generationen, zwei Frauenleben, von einem alten, lange verschwiegenen Beruf. Dieser Roman ist sinnlich, radikal und verblüffend gegenwärtig.

    Review originally posted on my blog, The Reader's Commute:Accabadora is a book worth savoring. In the opening pages, the reader is presented with a glossary of Italian terms. I learned that aranzada is softened orange peel with honey, almonds and sugar. I learned that capigliette are filled pastry with almonds and lemon. The words themselves are worth savoring, and the descriptions are delicious. This is how I felt about the majority of the book. Even in the descriptions of death and decay, there is something beautiful there.At the heart of this novel is Bonaria Urrai, the Accabadora of a small village. "Accabadora" is another term that I learned in my reading, and it was worth doing some more research on it since the position has such a heavy weight. An Accabadora is, essentially, a woman who assists in the death of an ailing, suffering person. (You can read more about it here in this very interesting article.)Bonaria, a clearly-respected older woman, takes on the young Maria Listru as a "soul child," another beautiful term explained in the opening passages of the book. Bonaria raises Maria as her own, and teaches her the sewing trade. Despite her unspoken position in village society as a "midwife of death," Bonaria is a warm maternal figure for Maria, and the two are very faithful towards each other.As readers, we follow Maria in a coming-of-age tale that is, at some moments, painful. A scene during her sister's wedding, where we can begin to see Maria blossom into a young woman, ends in a shameful discovery. And, of course, Maria remains in the dark about her tzia's (aunt's) position as the Accabadora. When the secret finally comes to the surface, Maria makes the decision to go out into the world on her own, leaving her past behind her. "Never say: I shall not drink from this water. You could find yourself in the water without having any idea how you got there." These are the words that Bonaria Urrai says to Maria in their emotional confrontation scene. It is a message that rings true to all: fate has a way of finding us, no matter how far we may run. As we read further on into the novel, we learn that the Accabadora speaks the truth. As readers, we can only ask the question: when?Accabadora is a book that kept me thinking. Although the concept of the Accabadora and the Sardinian village lifestyle were foreign to me, the major themes of the book are universal. Fate and responsibility - do the two go hand-in-hand?

    I learned of this little gem of a book here on Goodreads. A best seller in Italy, it has won a number of European prizes. The novel takes the reader into village life in Sardinia in the 1950s. Known in the village as the “Accabadora,” the remarkable Bonaria eases the suffering of the dying, sometimes ending it. She adopts, Maria, the unloved child of a widow and gives her an education, self-confidence and love. But as Maria nears adulthood, she discovers her adopted mother is an angel of mercy, feels betrayed and rejects her. She leaves home and moves to Turin where she tries to make a life for herself. I won't spoil the ending by telling you more, suffice it to say, she finds her destiny as a responsible and kind young woman.
    A beautiful slice of life -in a place and culture not many of us have experienced.

    Haunting and beautiful, the imagery described in such a way I can see it in my mind. The portrayal of the coming of age of the main character is uniquely accurate in the life she has been born in to.
