A young girl falls in love but is forced return to the covent and become a nun. This volume contains the long novella Sparrow, the short stories of Cavalleria Rusticana and five stories never previously translated into English: Temptation, The Schoolmaster, The Devil's Hand, The Gold Key and Comrades. A great read for anyone interested in Sicily and Southern Italy. Verga is the master of the short-story form.
