| Resumen: |
SET AGAINST THE BACKGROUND OF A RURAL FRENCH VILLAGE IN THE YEARS BEFORE THE WAR, WHEN ´PEACE´ WAS LESS IMPORTANT AS A POLITICAL STATE THAN AS A COVETED PERSONAL CONDITION: THE UNTORUBLED PINNACLE OF HAPPINESS. AT THE CENTER OF THE NOVEL IS SILVIO, WHO HAS RETURNED TO THIS SMALL TOWN AFTER YEARS AWAY. AS HIS NARRATION UNFOLDS, WE ARE GIVEN AN INTIMATE PICTURE OF THE LOVES AND INFIDELITIES, THE SCANDALS, THE YOUTHFUL ARDOR AND REGRETS OF AGE THAT TIE SILVIO TO THE LONG-GUARDED SECRETS OF THE PAST. |
