The Things We Used to Say
by Natalia Ginzburg
this book had some breathtakingly beautiful lines, and I recognize how important it is in capturing life during fascism in Italy. however, it should be ILLEGAL for 200 pages to not contain any chapters. just one long body of text.
i think the fact that I didn’t know much about the subject matter hindered the experience of this book for me. i was expecting a memoir and mainly got confusing character descriptions and wartime events.
It’s a stunning, important book that took me WEEKS to get through because I also found it boring and confusing. Three stars!
