La condizione delle donne negli anni del femminismo, e quella degli ebrei e dello Stato di Israele; la bellezza e l’orrore di Roma, e la fragilità di una democrazia (la nostra) sempre sotto minaccia; alcuni scrittori da amare; alcuni film visti con l’occhio di scrittrice; le biografie di alcuni amici (Cesare Pavese, Felice Balbo); e poi, ancora, la nostra incertezza e la nostra necessità di scegliere; la memoria dell’infanzia, da decifrare, e la vita dei figli adulti, che suscita meraviglia e insicurezza. Questi trenta testi costituiscono il più multiforme e battagliero libro di Natalia Ginzburg.

Fra questi ultimi abbiamo la Siria, la Libia, lo Yemen, l'Egitto, e il Bahrain.
