Description: | Select Guide Rating The continuation of an epic family saga set in mid-twentieth century Sardinia Vincenzo Chironi sets foot for the first time on the island of Sardinia - ''a raft in the middle of the Mediterranean'' - in 1943, a year of famine and malaria. All he has with him is an old document as proof of his name and date of birth, but to find out who he really is he has had to undertake an even more stressful journey than the one he has just faced in the steamer from mainland Italy to Sardinia. At Núoro he will find his grandfather, a master blacksmith, who will act as a substitute father but also as an accomplice to him, and his aunt Marianna, who greets the unexpected arrival of a previously unknown nephew as an opportunity to redeem a life previously afflicted by misfortune. |
