We are proud to announce the publication of the Thai edition of Accabadora by Michela Murgia, published by อ่านอิตาลี with the support of Ministero degli Affari Esteri e della Cooperazione Internazionale through its translation grant programme.

One of the most celebrated voices in contemporary Italian literature, Michela Murgia (1972–2023) explored themes of identity, memory, community, and social justice with depth and originality.

Winner of the prestigious Campiello Prize Premio Campiello, Accabadora is set in rural Sardinia in the 1950s and tells the moving story of Maria, a young girl adopted into a new family, whose life becomes intertwined with that of Bonaria Urrai, the mysterious 'accabadora', a woman entrusted with accompanying the dying in their final moments. Through this powerful novel, Murgia invites readers to reflect on life, death, care, and the ethical complexity of human relationships.
