Sobre este artículo
Four Walls Eight Windows, New York - 1996 hardcover, 5¾" x 8½", with dust jacket Ours is an ex-library copy in transparent protective covering, with usual stamps, stickers, barcode, etc. Slight lean to spine. GOOD book in GOOD unclipped dust jacket "Only a pig can marry you," Domenico Cataldo told his seduced lover, Maria Barbella, moments before she slit his throat. Thus began the saga of Maria Barbella, who shortly became the first woman sentenced to die in the electric chair. Hearing of her plight, Cora Slocomb, Countess di Brazzi - an American by birth and this author's great-grandmother - returned to America to help organize an appeal to save Maria. This story has it all … sex; prejudice; and the right of a woman to reject the role of victim, to avenge herself against a persecutor. Book has ten illustrations.
