Written in 1952, this is one of the great books by Italian novelist
Natalia Ginzburg, whose husband was atrociously murdered by the
Nazis in 1944. She herself, the daughter of a distinguished Jewish
intellectual family, was an active antifascist, but this is not an
obviously political or polemical novel. It is a scrupulous
examination of the feelings of a young woman and her friends, and a
portrait of two families against the subtly drawn, epic background
of war, of invasion and the collapse of fascism.One of the families
is rich, the other much poorer but both endure anxiety,
disappointment and grief. People die in air raids or are murdered
for their politics, but family quarrels, an adulterous affair or an
illness or a suicide are given equal importance, and are equally
tragic. The young people drift and collide with each other during
these cataclysmic years and world events only occur when they are
seen by her characters.This is a moving, strange and unsentimental
portrait of a generation at war.
