Il nostro regno
Description:
A family story bursts almost forcefully into the papers of a writer, Linda Ferri, who has made measure, discretion, narrative elegance a distinctive feature in her books and novels. And when it happens that, as James Joyce said, "life calls you loudly", you can't help but put on the pages the story of your grandparents, who emigrated to the United States, of your parents, of your siblings, and in general of a world that has crossed a good part of the twentieth century with passion and lightness, drama and irony, commitment and awareness. "Our Kingdom" is a novel that tells a story that, even if only as witnesses, we would have liked to be part of. And it makes us aware of the author's memories: from the memorable figure of her mother to the relationships with friends, with brothers, to difficult loves, always on the threshold of leaving the private to enter public history, in the history that we have lived and has been told to us. The result is a delicate and clear book, with a precise language yet full of a poetry that restores the warmth, the gentle strength of a lost world that concerns us. Linda Ferri is a true writer, capable of letting years if not decades pass between one book and another, without the anxiety of telling and recounting herself, yet aware that certain family stories cannot be lost, certain stories belong to all of us, and we must hold on to them. Our Kingdom is a book that is not forgotten: it moves us, makes us stronger, teaches us, tells us a story that transforms the author into a traveling companion, into an intimate, original and important voice
