Giovanna, he says, looks more like her Aunt Vittoria every day. But can it be true? Is she really changing? Is she turning into her Aunt Vittoria, a woman she hardly knows but whom her mother and father clearly despise? Surely there is a mirror somewhere in which she can see herself as she truly is. Giovanna is searching for her reflection in two kindred cities that fear and detest one another: Naples of the heights, which assumes a mask of refinement, and Naples of the depths, a place of excess and vulgarity. She moves from one to the other in search of the truth, but neither city seems to offer answers or escape. 700 1 $a Goldstein, Ann, $d 1949- $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20230104011458.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=79DD04048BFD11ED81B8056D56ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
