Read: “Family Lexicon.” First published in 1963, Natalia Ginzburg’s “Family Lexicon” is a first-person, non-fiction, autobiographical novel that captures the idiosyncrasies, pre-occupations, whimsies, and anxieties of her Jewish Italian family and their friends, set mainly in and around Turin before, during, and after the Second World War.
