Discover the astonishingly powerful debut novel by the beloved feminist author of the brilliant (The Wall Street Journal)Forbidden Notebookand the courageous (The Washington Post) Her Side of the Story that was so subversive, it was banned by the Italian Fascist regime when it was first published in 1938.

A coming-of-age novel that is as relevant today as it was nearly ninety years ago, Theres No Turning Back centers on eight women with radically different backgrounds who attend the same college in Rome. Some are there to study, others to escape a scandal, or keep a secret, and during their time there, they experience the challenges of love, work, and emancipation.

Considered experimental and revolutionary at the time, this novel established Alba de Céspedes as a powerful new voice in the 20th century. Translated by Ann Goldstein, Theres No Turning Back demonstrates why de Céspedes deserves an important place in the canon of womens literature (Chicago Review of Books).
