Summary

A Place to Live presents the singular womanist voice of Natalia Ginzburg, one of Italy's greatest 20th-century writers. Known for the clarity and forthrightness of her vision, Ginzburg gave voice to the despair and renascent hope of postwar Europe. In this unique collection, Lynne Sharon Schwartz, one of America's most distinguised contemporary novelists, shares with us her passion for Ginzburg, through her selections, translations, and inspired introductions.

LYNNE SHARON SCHWARTZ is the author of fourteen works of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, as well as the widely acclaimed memoir, Ruined by Reading.
