Io sono femmina in una famiglia di contadini; proprio come la figlia di Ultimo. Avrei voluto nascere maschio per essere considerata come i miei fratelli. Alberto avrebbe desiderato il contrario per essere libero di studiare quello che voleva senza confronti con il padre. Bisogna imparare a dilatare il tempo. Sporzionarlo in modo che sembri di piugrave;; come faceva mia madre con il pollo da friggere quando eravamo in tanti. Bisogna rimediare. Curare la malattia che si prende i nostri giorni. Nellospizio di Via dei Cipressi si incontrano gli anziani piugrave; o meno acciaccati; ma anche tutti quelli che devono occuparsene; Grazia la donna delle pulizie; le suore; Anita la volontaria; e in misura molto minore; i parenti. Non conta; in questo libro di narrazioni; lintreccio; ma la scrittura insolita; i personaggi; i particolari; lherpes sul labbro della donna incinta; i jeans con il risvolto del vecchio che non sa aggiustarli; i fagioli coltivati nel bicchiere dal contadino che rimpiange la terra. Il mercoledigrave; egrave; il giorno di visite allospizio. Il mondo fuori scorre veloce.

Read the book; but never went there. All the same; its very interesting; because this town has a whole lot of history behind it; much like the town Im from in Missouri. And; like my town; you probably wouldnt know how important Waxahachie was in its hey day if you didnt do a little research. This book is a great guide to the past that Waxahachi has experienced. Like so many towns and cities that a person drives through; if you dont dig a little; you would never know about the great things that have happened there. And sometimes; like Waxahachie; Texas; there is a wealth of important history just beneath the surface. This book is the story of that history; and is done very well.2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Knowing all of this makes Waxahachie even more special....By BassoonGuy68This is the second book from the Making of America Series that Ive read. I must say it was far superior to the first one. Ms. Stott expertly mixes facts; pictures; personal experience; and anecdotes into a marvelous picture of Waxahachie. I could tell how much she enjoyed digging into the past of this fair community. I wont think of Waxahachie the same way next time I drive down her streets. The locusts plague; the tragedy of the native Americans; the excitment and wealth of the cotton age; and The Chautauqua Assembly - a rich history indeed. Great reading!!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Very fascinatingBy Leslie HowellVery informative history on Waxahachie; Texas with many photos included.
