Took a break from my backlog of American literary fiction to read this portrait of daily family life set against the backdrop of Mussolini’s Italy, by one of my favourite Italian authors. Seeing as history seems to be repeating itself in the year of our lord 2025, I figured it would be worthwhile to read a great work by an author who grew up in a household of political activism against fascism.
