Family Lexicon is Natalia Ginzburg's most fascinating work, an autobiographical account that transports us to antifascist Italy. Through its pages, we meet the Levi family in Turin during the 1930s and 1950s, a Jewish and antifascist family. The author immerses us in their peculiar family lexicon, full of intimate moments and conversations that become a secret language. This book has been praised by critics and authors such as Italo Calvino, Carmen Martín Gaite and Elena Medel, who highlight Ginzburg's ability to recreate family feelings and relationships with clinical, precise and moving writing.
