From her birth in Palermo and her youth in Turin to her final move to Rome, a portrait of Natalia Ginzburg follows her through the houses she lived in: the Turin house of Lessico famigliare, the flat of her years in exile and the Roman apartment opposite Italo Calvino's windows. The author meets witnesses, some of them now a hundred years old, and rereads all her work from her first childhood exercises. Around Natalia move the friends and colleagues of a lifetime, Calvino, Giulio Einaudi, Cesare Pavese, Elsa Morante, Alberto Moravia and Carlo Levi among them, and her two husbands, Leone Ginzburg and Gabriele Baldini.
