Elsa är tjugosju och ogift i en sömnig italiensk by under åren efter andra världskriget. I hemlighet har hon förälskat sig i Tommasino, den yngsta sonen i en inflytelserik fabriksägarfamilj. Elsa fantiserar om en framtid med Tommasino, men drömmen hotas av omgivningens förväntningar. En roman om skuggan efter fascismen, om den första kärleken och om tillfällen som rinner ut i sanden.

Natalia Ginzburgs klassiker från 1961 utges i nyöversättning av Johanna Hedenberg, som även har skrivit förordet till utgåvan.

"Ginzburg är det perfekta gehörets författare, få kan som hon avlyssna människor, sammanhang och tidsandor och göra makalös litteratur av det ... Ginzburgs prosa är guld som inte slutar skimra." Expressen

"Alltigenom makalös ... Allt i denna svindlande vackra roman ligger så nära vartannat, vemod och humor, vardag och poesi, grandiosa illustioner och nykter realism." Tidningen Vi

    Natalia Ginzburg

    Natalia Ginzburg was born in Palermo, Italy in 1916. She was an Italian author whose work explored family relationships, politics during and after the Fascist years and World War II, and philosophy. She wrote novels, short stories, and essays, for which she received the Strega Prize and Bagutta Prize. Modest and intensely reserved, Ginzburg never shied away from the traumas of history, whether writing about the Turin of her childhood, the Abruzzi countryside, or contemporary Rome—all the while approaching those traumas only indirectly, through the mundane details and catastrophes of personal life. Most of her works were also translated into English and published in the United Kingdom and United States. She wrote acclaimed translations of both Proust and Flaubert into Italian. She died in Rome in 1991.
