“Book Descriptions: In 1920, anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were accused of a payroll robbery and double murder at a factory in Massachusetts. The case became one of the most notorious miscarriages of justice of the 20th century.
The Anarchist's Wife is a historical fiction novella which reimagines this American tragedy from the perspective of Rosa Sacco. Her husband was likely innocent of the crime he was accused of, but his possible involvement in anarchist violence was a murkier question. The story is framed as a memoir for her daughter Ines, in which she attempts to shape this difficult past into one which can be lived with.” DRIVE
