A Girl Returned (Italian: L'Arminuta) is a novel by Donatella Di Pietrantonio. It was first published by Einaudi in 2017.
The narrator, who tellingly is never named, finds out that the people she knew and loved as her parents were only foster parents when they return her to her birth family, abruptly and without explanation. At 14 years old she must find her way through the mess of confusion, abandonment, unwanted siblings, resentment and adolescent angst on her own.
