Description

Julia Blackburn's memoir, Thin Paths, is a poignant and humorous account of her experiences living in an Italian mountain village. In 1999, she and her husband moved to a small house in the mountains, where they were welcomed by the local community who shared their stories with her.

The villagers spoke of their struggles under feudal rule, the impact of World War II, and the fear and hardship that followed. They asked Julia to write down their stories, fearing that if she didn't, they would be lost forever. This book is a celebration of the human spirit and the power of storytelling.

Through her experiences, Julia Blackburn has created a unique and captivating portrait of life in a small Italian village. With its blend of history, culture, and personal narrative, Thin Paths offers a compelling insight into one place that could be many places.
