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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey 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\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePaperback\u003cbr\u003ePublication: 14 May 2026, Penguin\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9781405973908\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eExtent: 224 pages\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David's Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56830896669054,"sku":null,"price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/0892\/5225\/files\/9781405973908.jpg?v=1768826050","url":"https:\/\/www.davids-bookshops.co.uk\/products\/a-house-in-sicily-by-luisa-adorno","provider":"David's Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
