Language of my Choosing: The candid life-memoir of an Italian Scot

How do you choose your nationality?

This is a question that Anne Pia often asked herself whilst growing up in Edinburgh. Born to Scottish-Italian parents, she was sent to Catholic School in contrast with her Scots-Italian cousins and spent her days helping out in the family cafe in Edinburgh. Tackling themes such as growing up, romantic love and motherhood, Pia’s memoir traces her journey as she discovers her place in the world.

Studying in France, Pia tries to come to terms with her unconventional family and the two nationalities she bridges. A truly honest book that delves into hard-hitting issues without veering into the sentimental, Pia’s memoir will strike a chord with readers of any nationality.
