Mamma in her village - Paperback

by Maristella De Panizza Lorch (Author)

Mamma in her Village is the first volume of Maristella Lorch's trilogy Beyond Gibraltar, the story of generations of strong women covering more than a century, including two World Wars, the Cold War, and the explosion of terrorism. In a biographical novel set in Tajo, a village in the Central Alps, torn between its Germanic heritage and an emerging Italian influence, we follow mamma, the author's mother, from child to young wife, in the years leading to WWI.
