Description
Innocence by Penelope Fitzgerald is a poignant novel set in post-war Italy. In 1955, the Ridolfi family, like their villa and farm, has seen better days. Chiara, an 18-year-old with vitality, sets her heart on Salvatore, a brilliant doctor who has resolved to be emotionally dependent on no one. With this impossible match, she calls upon her English girlfriend Barney for help. As the story unfolds, Fitzgerald's nuanced prose explores the complexities of love, family, and identity in a time of great change. The novel is a powerful exploration of the human experience, revealing the intricate web of relationships that bind us together. Published in 1987, this new edition features a new introduction by Julian Barnes, adding depth and context to Fitzgerald's story.
