Lungo la strada by Anna GnesaMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Musings on a recently-vanished Valle Verzasca by a person who knew it well and loved it dearly. It was great to read this, despite not being overly familiar with the valley (we would go there often growing up, but just as tourists).
The tidbits here and there in local dialect were enticing. They seem to differ so much from the Lugano/Sottoceneri dialect. I couldn't make head or tail of them.
The latter part of the book (about flowers/animals/etc.) I found less entertaining.
