Women in law school were still something of an anomaly in 1969. Between the little girl on the front cover of this book, and the grandmother on the back, lies an account of life on the edge of sweeping social change. THE BOOK OF NONNI is the memoir of an irrepressible barrier breaker with a history of risky ventures. In a world where everything else changes, it tells the true story of a love that endures through all the tumultuous events of the second half of the twentieth century, through marriage, misbehavior, the women's movement, murder, Madagascar, magic, and miracles.
