Beschreibung

The Woman & the Priest is a haunting psychological drama by Nobel Prize-winning author Grazia Deledda. Set in a remote Sardinian village at the turn of the 20th century, the novel unfolds over the course of two fateful days, tracing the emotional turmoil of a young priest, Paul, and his devoted mother, Maria Maddalena. 
As Paul prepares to sneak away from the presbytery, consumed by forbidden longing, his mother senses a growing darkness within him. Her fears mount as she begins to suspect a dangerous entanglement with a woman living nearby—one that threatens not just his vocation, but their souls. Through rich introspection and piercing moral tension, Deledda masterfully explores themes of devotion, maternal love, temptation, and the silent war between religious duty and human desire. 
Narrated with quiet intensity by Brett Carter, this timeless tale of emotional restraint and spiritual reckoning offers a deeply human portrait of two people caught between the sacred and the profane.
