Condemned in its own time on grounds of indecency, the book was the subject of several law suits until as recently as the 1960s.

That the marriage should fail and Lilia die tragically are to be expected. But that she should have a baby, and that the baby should be raised Italian, of all things, are matters requiring immediate correction. E.M.
