Lessico famigliare

About “Lessico famigliare”

A 1963 novel by Natalia Ginzburg. Ginzburg introduced her most celebrated work with a disclaimer that the places, events, and people are all real and that she invented nothing. The book re-creates the small world of a family enduring some of the most difficult years of the twentieth century, from the rise of Mussolini through World War II and its aftermath, centered on the family's own store of phrases and sayings.
