hannavd 's review for:

All Our Yesterdays by Natalia Ginzburg
4.0

This novel contains observations on life which are translated in carefully composed beautiful sentences I feel only Natalia Ginzburg can write. Amazing combination of storytelling with hints of prose.

“For loneliness and sorrow were the salvation of the spirit, so at least it said in books and perhaps it was true.”

“All men make you sorry for them if you look at them closely, in fact you ought to be on guard against that excess of compassion which arises suddenly, from looking closely at people.”
