Description Scéal atá suite i mbaile tuaithe in iarthuaisceart na hIodáile sna 1940í. Ríomhtar an scéal trí shúile mná óige, agus faightear spléachadh ar a saol siúd agus ar shaol na gcomharsan, go háirithe ar imeachtaí an dream ar leo an mhonarcha. This story is set in a rural town in northwest Italy in the 1940s and is told through the eyes of Elsa, a young woman who becomes involved with a member of the De Francisci family, owners of a local factory. Faoi ainm cleite a foilsíodh an chéad úrscéal a scríobh Natalia Ginzburg i 1942, ach fán bhliain 1947 bhí sí saor le scríobh faoina hainm féin. Tháinig rabharta úrscéalta uaithi as sin amach, mar aon le haistí, gearrscéalta, agus eile. Áirítear í ar mhórscríbhneoirí Iodáilise a linne. Natalia Ginzburg’s first novel was published under a pseudonym in 1942, but by 1947 she was free to write under her own name. Novels came from her from then on, along with essays, short stories, and others. She is included among the great Italian writers of her time.
