Description
The Moon and the Bonfires by Cesare Pavese
A summer spent wandering the valleys and vineyards of the Piedmontese countryside, revisiting the farm where Eel worked as a teenager, leads to a deeper understanding of the region's timeless rituals. However, as he uncovers the secret stories of the partisans who hid out in the hills during the war, the truth becomes more complicated and disturbing.
This poignant and thought-provoking novel explores the complexities of memory, identity, and the human experience, set against the rich backdrop of the Italian countryside.
