Almas Rom: Eine Puschlaver Familiensaga | Patrizia Parolini
3 posts | 1 read
Eine Puschlaver Familiensaga Rom, 1911. Die 17-jhrige Alma, Tochter von Puschlaver Auswanderern, fhlt sich als Rmerin und ist untrstlich, als der Arzt ihrem ernsthaft erkrankten Vater die Rckkehr in dessen Heimat nahelegt. Denn nicht nur will sie die Stadt und ihre Freundinnen nicht verlassen, auch Antonio, der Zeitungsverkufer, ist ihr ans Herz gewachsen. Almas Rom ist eine Geschichte ber Emigration und Rckkehr und die bleibende Sehnsucht nach der Ewigen Stadt, eine Familiensaga zwischen berlieferung und Fiktion, die fr manches Frauenschicksal jener und wohl auch der heutigen Zeit steht.

When this book was published a couple of years ago, I knew it wasn't the time for me to read it. Especially, since I know the author and she's just such a lovely person. So I waited for the right moment and it has finally come.

It's a historical biography of Alma, the author's grandmother. The book is filled with details and I know from Parolini herself how much time she spent into research. ⬇

Jari-chan We follow Alma from her youth until she's around 50, and meanwhile we also learn how life around her changes. How this small valley in Switzerland changes. It's a calm and quiet book, but very deep and well written.

Looking very much forward to my second and third #roll100 picks. “Alma's Rome“ is a very well researched HF by a local author. “Becoming a Lesbian in 10 steps“ is already a promising title for a book and “Daily Soap“ is one of the first novels with an AfroSwiss perspective. Obviously, I have to wait a rather long time until my library hold will arrive.
