Natalia Ginzburg

Natalia Ginzburg was one of the most important Italian writers of the twentieth century, whose spare, emotionally precise prose captured the textures of family life, memory, and Italian society under Fascism and after the war. Family Lexicon is her masterpiece, a memoir told through the characteristic words and phrases of her family. Ginzburg's audiobooks and books are treasured for their honesty, warmth, and their quiet, devastating power.
