Description

A poignant and thought-provoking novel about the complexities of marriage and desire. Luca Carcera's life is one of quiet desperation, as he struggles to reconcile his love for his wife with the secret desires that threaten to upend their relationship. As Luca navigates the challenges of middle-class domesticity, he finds himself torn between the comfort of routine and the uncertainty of his own emotions. His family history, marked by a father's departure from his marriage, leaves him questioning the institution of partnership and his place within it. With elegant prose and a keen eye for social observation, Anthony Giardina explores the nuances of human relationships and the difficult choices that come with growing up.
