Whether she writes of the loss of a friend, Cesare Pavese; or what is inexpugnable of World War II; or the Abruzzi, where she and her first husband lived in forced residence under Fascist rule; or the importance of silence in our society; or her vocation as a writer; or even a pair of worn-out shoes, Ginzburg brings to her reflections the wisdom and grace of a survivor and the spare, wry, and poetically resonant style her readers have come to recognize.

Valentino is the spoiled child of doting parents who have no doubt he will be "a man of consequence". His sisters, however, see him for what he truly lazy, apathetic, self-absorbed and far more interested in partying than applying himself to his studies at medical school.

His parents' dreams begin to unravel when, out of the blue, Valentino becomes engaged to the wealthy yet strikingly ugly Maddalena. The family is scandalised by his choice of bride – and suspicious of his motives.

In "Valentino", class, social expectations, wealth and marriage come under Natalia Ginzburg's forensic scrutiny, her unflinching moral realism and her keen psychological insight resulting in a work of quiet devastation.

In this deeply etched and haunting memoir, Vivian Gornick tells the story of her lifelong battle with her mother for independence.
