{"product_id":"9781405973908","title":"A House in Sicily - Luisa Adorno","description":"\u003cp\u003eA sun soaked, hilarious mediation on family life in mid-century Italy - and one of the most exciting rediscovered classics in years. During WWII, a young Tuscan woman falls in love with a man from the rural depths of southern Italy. As the conflict finally draws to a close, the two travel from Rome to finally meet with his family. But very quickly a dawning realisation breaks: her in-laws and their friends are eccentric in the extreme. They barely leave the house and they rarely speak to their son, fretting instead about their `daughter' - a loud little dog - and worrying constantly, incessantly, about the weather. And, worst of all, they speak with a nostalgic warmth about the region's recently overthrown fascist regime.Translated by Ann Goldstein, the world-renowned translator of Elena Ferrante, A House in Sicily is a brilliantly funny, razor sharp examination of family life in the shadow of the darkest period of modern Italian history, and the most exciting rediscovered European classic in decades.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Luisa Adorno","offers":[{"title":"224 pages \/ 14\/05\/2026 \/ Modern \u0026 contemporary fiction (post c 1945)","offer_id":57044588659063,"sku":"9781405973908","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9781405973908.jpg?v=1780934914","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781405973908","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
