Celebrating one of the most important Italian American female
authors of our time, Personal Effects offers a lucid view of Louise
DeSalvo as a writer who has produced a vast and provocative body of
memoir writing, a scholar who has enriched our understanding of
Virginia Woolf, and a teacher who has transformed countless lives.
More than an anthology, Personal Effects represents an author case
study and an example for modern Italian American interdisciplinary
scholarship. Personal Effects examines DeSalvo's memoirs as works
that push the boundaries of the most controversial genre of the
past few decades. In these works, the author fearlessly explores
issues such as immigration, domesticity, war, adultery, illness,
mental health, sexuality, the environment, and trauma through the
lens of gender, ethnic, and working-class identity. Alongside her
groundbreaking scholarship, DeSalvo's memoirs attest to the power
and influence of this feminist Italian American writer.

She thought she had lost everyone during an early attack by
Napoleon's forces. Then upon returning to England she loses even
more... He lost his new wife in a brutal attack six months ago
during one of the first battle surges by Le Grande Armee. Left with
an injury to remind him of that time he reluctantly takes up his
mantle as a Peer of the Realm and uses his skills with numbers and
letters to help the War Office as a code specialist. Nothing could
surprise him more than walking into a government safe house to
question a suspected traitor and find his supposedly dead wife
lying injured with no memory of their time together. Is she a
traitor? Where has she been all this time? And is their love strong
enough to survive or will the truth tear them apart forever?
