Description
A poignant and introspective novel set against the backdrop of Italy in the late 1930s, exploring the lives of an aristocratic Jewish family as they navigate the increasingly treacherous landscape of their homeland.
As the summer draws to a close, this elegiac tale masterfully captures the mood and atmosphere of Ferrara, tracing the imperceptible slide towards doom that awaits its protagonists. A powerful exploration of identity, community, and the human condition, Giorgio Bassani's masterpiece is a haunting and deeply moving read.
