Island Faces
Four novellas from Malta.
A city girl whose beauty serves only to blight her life and that of those around her, a country woman tormented by her past, a fisherman’s wife whose pride destroys a family, and a young man whose coming of age ends in tragedy. These are the four unforgettable characters around whom Lino Spiteri has woven the tales in this collection. The setting is Malta in the first half of the 20th century, a time when, after centuries of stagnation, the Maltese way of life was going through a period of rapid, sometimes cataclysmic, change.
