Table of contents: title: Even a superficial first reading of the book will reveal its historical, cultural and psychological depth. Through the emotional intensity, which emanates from the reconstruction of a familial and social atmosphere by interweaving the historical and personal events in a seamless flow, the author is able to give continuity, value and depth to each event, to each experience. Every thought-provoking personal event is in fact a tessera of a larger historical mosaic.; title: Oddo's prose is exquisitely refined, able to evoke vividly tangible images. It is not merely a generic story of her life, but a pulsating tableau of a period and an ambient, full of insightful observations, and mature and detached judgement. Her intense and compelling emotions are always expressed with reserve. It is a well-balanced work of wisdom, wit and discretion, difficult to put down.
