L'Eredità dei Vivi
by Federica Sgaggio is the story of a girl, Rosa. Rosa at the beginning of the 1950s decides to leave the South of Italy where was born in, for affording in the North.
The narrating voice of this book is her daughter that will tell us the existence of her mother. An hard lady under many aspects, who suffered a lot, there is to say. The daughter in fact is fine, but Rosa has had another son, this time disabled and this episode will mark her existence.
She will fight with all herself for keeping decent her life, and the one of his son. She will move on from her husband, having constantly a bad relationship with her daughter.
This one is also a book where, intersecated there is the political story of our Italy seen under the various decades: the 50s still hesitants, the 60s characterized by the economic boom, the 70s, violences and terrorism, the '80s illusion of a never end lightness and the birth of privatizations, the 90s empty of values.
A beautiful book for everyone in love for memoirs.
I thank Marsilio for the physical copy of this book.
