Nicole Trevisan and Jennette McCurdy release new literary works

Recent literary developments highlight new works by Nicole Trevisan and Jennette McCurdy. Trevisan’s debut novel, ‘Malefica’ (published by Fandango Libri), offers a sharp portrait of a millennial returning to her hometown in the Veneto region following the death of a childhood friend. The narrative explores themes of social judgment, complex maternal relationships, and the struggle to reconcile one's past with a present life built away from home.

Jennette McCurdy, formerly a child star on Nickelodeon, has transitioned into writing and screenwriting. Her new novel, ‘The Half of Her Years’ (published by Mondadori), examines power dynamics through the story of a seventeen-year-old in Alaska and her relationship with a teacher. McCurdy has noted that the writing process has helped her process past experiences and the role of anger in overcoming personal struggles, such as eating disorders induced by her mother.
