The Sisters Materassi by Aldo Palazzeschi
Set in the early 20th century, this novel follows the lives of two spinster sisters, Teresa and Carolina, who live a quiet, uneventful life in a small Italian village. Their world revolves around their successful dressmaking business, which they run with meticulous care and dedication. However, their orderly existence is disrupted when their charming and mischievous nephew, Remo, comes to live with them. As Remo's youthful exuberance and carefree attitude clash with the sisters' conservative ways, the story explores themes of familial duty, the passage of time, and the inevitable changes that life brings.
