Teresa, a girl from Turin, spends her summers in Speziale, a small town in Puglia, where she meets three brothers and a cousin, Bern. The four become inseparable, and she is drawn into a group of friends who live outside the rules, with a life of spontaneity. The story covers decades, from the 1980s to the present, following Teresa as she falls in love, loses people, and searches for her place in the world, with the farm and the sea as constant points.
Paolo Giordano writes about love, friendship, and the passage of time. It suits readers who like Italian family sagas and stories about how a summer place can shape a life.
Deep, inward-looking and thought-provoking; a moderate read.
Best for readers like The Wisdom Collector. Which reader are you?
