"Claudio Bianchi has lived alone for many years on a hillside in Southern |
|
Italy's scenic Calabria. Set in his ways and suspicious of outsiders, Claudio |
|
has always resisted change, preferring farming and writing poetry. But one |
|
chilly morning, as though from a dream, an impossible visitor appears at the |
|
farm. When Claudio comes to her aid, an act of kindness throws his world into |
|
chaos. Suddenly he must stave off inquisitive onlookers, invasive media, and |
|
even more sinister influences" -- provided by publisher.</p> |

★★★★☆ |

|
<p>So, this is not <em>really</em> a book, but a novella. And that's no shame.</p> |
|
<p>For all that's worth, the writing is pretty good and makes the things really |
|
flow, although it gets a bit messy in the end, in the climatic scene. Also, I'm |
|
pretty sure there the author messed with some of main character cats at some |
|
point.</p> |
|
<p>The story is quite simple and, for someone from an Italian family, feels quite |
|
at home. But, for all that's worth, it is kinda weird that Italians, in Italy, |
|
speak in English, but use Italian for emotional effect.</p> |
