{"product_id":"keeping-house-clara-sereni-9780791464793","title":"Keeping House: A Novel in Recipes","description":"Part autobiographical novel and part cookbook, Keeping House tells the story of a young Italian woman struggling to find self-definition and self-identity. Born into a prominent Jewish Italian family full of strong personalities and colorful figures, Clara narrates the humorous, dramatic, and often poignant events that inform her life. Intertwining recipes with her narrative, Clara uses food as markers for the cornerstones of her life, allowing her to discover and remember both public and private events--a Yom Kippur dinner, fascism and antifascism, the early years of the young Italian republic, the politics and culture of the Italian left, the openness of the 1960s and '70s, and the retreat into privacy of the 1980s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Clara Sereni\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0791464792\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791464793\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/14\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.38h x 6.34w x 0.65d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/11\/2005 pg. 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2005 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/19\/2009","brand":"Clara Sereni","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44072773812479,"sku":"9780791464793","price":51.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_621b3cd4-6d82-41f6-a7eb-0fc30a75a808.jpg?v=1685443894","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/keeping-house-clara-sereni-9780791464793","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
