Architect Carmine and translator Ivana were once lovers.Their child died and their relationship ended but now, decades on, both with marriages and children of their own, they are friends.

During a bout of pneumonia, Carmine uneasy in his life of aspiration and materialism begins to look back over opportunities missed and choices made. Set against postwar social breakdown, the melancholic, quietly dazzling Family elegantly examines the human condition and what brings happiness to a life.Borghesiais a delicate evocation of one life and the relationships that constrain and define it.

In both novellas, underneath a subtle, stripped-down prose and a rich cast of characters, runs a seam of unhappiness and isolation, as Natalia Ginzburg explores the allure of memories and the complexity of family and relationships.
