Nobody wrote quite like Natalia Ginzburg. She was born in Sicily in 1916 and, as well as being a great writer, she was a political activist who ended up being elected to the Italian parliament in the 1980s.
Daunt Books put out a new collection of her work a few years ago. It is a beautiful book called The Little Virtues. The stories run from Second World War through to Ginzburg’s time in the 1960s in London.
