«Avrò vissuto un giorno» is the contemporary fiction novel by Natascha Wodin, published by Einaudi in paperback (205 pages, in Italian).
In the form of a letter to an unborn child, a woman recalls her childhood and youth in postwar Germany. Daughter of Russian refugees, she grows up in a settlement for displaced persons, rejected as «la russa». After her mother's suicide, she is left at the mercy of an authoritarian father. The novel explores identity, uprootedness and the search for roots.
It belongs to Einaudi's I coralli collection (no. 25). Originally published in German as «Einmal Lebt Ich» in 1989, the Italian edition dates from 1995.
For readers of contemporary fiction interested in historical memory, identity and experiences of migration and uprootedness in postwar Europe.
