"Powerful . . . The vivid descriptions of the Sardinian landscape are a fitting complement to the heroine's conflicted heart" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).
As this compelling novel opens, a young unnamed woman reflects on the life of her bewitching, eccentric, and fiercely emotional grandmother, whose abiding search for love spans much of the twentieth century. In 1943, as American bombs fall on the city of Cagliari, she is thirty and considered an old maid, still living at home with her parents. But when the bombing ceases, and despite her protests, her father forces her to marry the first man to propose, an older widower she doesn't love.We publiceren alleen reviews die voldoen aan de voorwaarden voor reviews.
