Description
Hailed upon publication as a groundbreaking memoir, giving the form "a new dimension, new possibilities, and . . . an aspect that is entirely new" (Times Literary Supplement), Family Sayings is Natalia Ginzburg's masterpiece and a classic of contemporary Italian literature. Although it asks to be read as fiction, the author, one of Italy's finest twentieth-century writers, admits that it is highly autobiographical.
