Description
The Swallows of Lunetto by Joseph Fasano is a powerful and sweeping love story set against the backdrop of Italy's Calabria region in the summer of 1945. As the war draws to a close, Alexandra Bianchi lives and works in the provincial village of Lunetto, unaware of the dark secrets that have been hidden for nearly eight years. When she encounters a masked figure in the streets, her life is forever changed, revealing a shocking truth about Leonardo Gemetti, a young man from her own village who has carried out an atrocity against the Italian partisans. This timely novel explores the left-right political divide, the reckonings of inherited trauma, and the potential of forgiveness to heal deeply divisive wounds. A historical drama that delves into the complexities of human nature, The Swallows of Lunetto is a thought-provoking meditation on the consequences of extremism and the enduring power of love.
