Reading a book written by our family friend Christina von Ditfurth about her paternal grandmother. Christina’s life itself is amazing but oh my, I was not prepared for this.
Luisella at first is not a sympathetic figure, except that she had to grow up in a loveless household. Amazing to trace her life, in part bound by social norms and geopolitical forces, yet she stubbornly keeps her autonomy & lives her life, a life of her own.
