Family Lexicon

Natalia Ginzburg

1963 · Memoir / Fiction

Tr. Jenny McPhee

Picked by Marta
Ginzburg reconstructs her family's life in Turin from the 1930s through the war using only the phrases, jokes, and verbal tics they actually used. It sounds like a formal exercise. It reads like the truest account of family life ever written.
