Praise for The Bishop's Villa " The Bishop's Villa is a compelling and enduring novel that, through a seemingly minor story, unravels one of the most tragic chapters of the 20th century. It exposes the intricate web of complicit ties that enabled those events, while posing lingering, unanswered questions that resonate to this day."-- Il Manifesto "A novel of war and resistance, on not being mere spectators of history."-- Internazionale "(Historical) Memory and dreams coexist perfectly in the hands of Naspini, an award-winning and translated author."--Corriere Fiorentino Praise for Nives by Sacha Naspini "The dramatic concision of this story in tandem with its wide scope reminded me of Edith Wharton.Emotions whiplash and the most unexpected of secrets and epiphanies emerge. This delightful and affecting novella affirms the truth of Emily Dickinson's famous line: 'Hope is the thing with feathers'."--Maureen Corrigan, NPR's Fresh Air "Touching, heartfelt.

Nives is the reckoning of a woman blindsided by the unexpected. Fans of Elisabeth Egan, Marian Keyes, and Isabel Allende will appreciate the care and compassion Naspini takes with Nives' journey of self-awareness, self-reliance, and self-acceptance. A delightful story of the muddled, confusing time of love after loss."--Stephanie Turza, Booklist "A slim, sharply pointed knife of a novel."--Kirkus Reviews "[Nives] inspires readers to tell our stories with humor, passion, and gratitude."--Mari's Book Reviews "Truly surprising."--Complete Review "As immediate and spellbinding as a two-character play.Naspini is excellent at conjuring characters and situations.

"--La Stampa "Nives carries a powerful message of female emancipation: it's impossible not to root for the title character as she reclaims her place in the world after a whole life spent in men's shadow."--Critica Letteraria.
