This is a haunting, elegiac novel which captures the mood and
atmosphere of Italy (and in particular Ferrara) in the last summers
of the thirties, focusing on an aristocratic Jewish family moving
imperceptibly towards its doom. Vittorio De Sica turned the book
into a film in 1970, winning the Academy Award for Best Foreign
Language Film in 1974.
