Natalia Ginzburg, one of Italy's great writers, introduced "A
Family Lexicon," her most celebrated work, with an unusual
disclaimer: "The places, events and people are all real. I have
invented nothing. Every time that I have found myself inventing
something in accordance with my old habits as a novelist, I have
felt impelled at once to destroy everything thus invented." "A
Family Lexicon" re-creates with extraordinary objectivity the small
world of a family enduring some of the most difficult years of the
twentieth century, the period from the rise of Mussolini through
World War II (Ginzburg's first husband, who was a member of the
resistance, was killed by the Nazis) and its immediate aftermath.
Every family has its store of phrases and sayings by which it
maintains its sense of what it means to be a family. Such sayings
and stories lie at the heart of a great novel about family and
history.
