Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This singular autobiography unfurls from author Marina Jarres native Latvia during the 1920s and 30s, and expands southward to the Italian countryside. In distinctive writing as poetic as it is precise, Jarre depicts an exceptionally multinational and complicated family: her elusive, handsome fathera Jew who perished in the Holocaust; her severe, cultured motheran Italian Christian who translated Russian literature; and her sister and Latvian grandparents. Jarre tells of her passage from childhood to adolescence, first as a linguistic minority in a Baltic nation and then in traumatic exile to Italy after her parents divorce. Jarre lives with her maternal grandparents, French-speaking Waldensian Protestants in the Alpine valleys southwest of Turin, where she finds fascist Italy a problematic home for a Riga-born Jew. This memoirlikened to Speak, Memory by Vladimir Nabokov or Annie Ernauxs The Years and now translated into English for the first timeprobes questions of time, language, womanhood, belonging and estrangement, while asking what homeland can be for those who have none, or many more than one.
