Opis

"We were soon informed that Mussolini had banned dancing in Italy. Banned dancing How would any young girl find a husband now?" Not without its moments of humor, tears, and infamy, Donna Kendall's memoir of her mother's life is both poignant and insightful as it details the events of the Fascist Regime, World War II, and post-war devastation in Italy. Kendalls' mother, Giulia Ragno, grew up during one of the most turbulent time periods in Italy's recent history. Giulia's family endeavored to lead their ordinary lives, rooted in cultural traditions and faith, while the world around them was changing radically. As relevant today as it was when the stories unfolded, this unforgettable memoir will find its place among the chronicles of the human voice. Interspersed with Italian proverbs, songs and folk tales, this story will leave you with many cherished anecdotes of cultural wisdom and levity.
