A House in Sicily - Luisa Adorno - książka
Producent: Viking
During the tumultuous times of World War II, a young woman from Tuscany experiences an unexpected romance with a man hailing from the rural regions of southern Italy. As the war nears its end, the couple embarks on a journey from Rome, eager to introduce her to his kin. Upon arrival, she quickly discerns that her new in-laws are peculiarly eccentric. They seldom venture outside their home and engage in limited conversation with their son, fixating instead on their 'daughter'—a boisterous little dog—and perpetually fretting about the weather. Most disconcertingly, they harbor a nostalgic fondness for the recently dismantled fascist regime of the area. Translated by Ann Goldstein, the esteemed translator known for her work with Elena Ferrante, "A House in Sicily" offers a brilliantly comedic and incisive portrayal of familial dynamics set against the backdrop of one of modern Italy's darkest historical periods. It stands as one of the most thrilling revivals of a European classic in recent decades.
