 |
|
As it contemplates the life of a young American writer who joins her Italian husband in Parma, it steadily draws in a bounty of startling and finally consoling news from a dauntless new life in a very old place. - REYNOLDS PRICE " reflective life of Italy - intimately lived and observed by a modern American woman. A wise and delightful work, admirable in its synthesis of understanding, independence, and rare humility. - SHIRLEY HAZZARD " " Fourteen years ago, the American writer Wallis Wilde-Menozzi moved with her husband and daughter to Parma, a prosperous city in northern Italy. " Mother Tongue explores Parma, largely through the lives of its women, some historical figures - Giuseppe Verdi, Correggio, the Renaissance badessa Giovanna Piacenza - and other extraordinary individuals. " " It is also a remarkable, probing evocation of an American life that has been tried and tempered by two very different societies.
