After The Divorce by Grazia Deledda 1985

This is Deledda's tragic story of poverty, passion, and guilt which portrays the delicately balanced social order of her native Sardinia. In this primitive and remote world the church, pre-Christian pagan superstitions, and laws dictated from the mainland hold society in a delicate balance. Once this order is disrupted, none of these characters can escape the spiral of destruction dictated by fate, God, and society.

Title: After The Divorce 
Author: Grazia Deledda (1871-1936) was born in Sardinia, Italy, which forms the setting for most of her fiction.
