By the ravages of war, Giulia finds herself forcibly returned to her distant hometown, where her eyes are immediately drawn to a couple who share a similar plight: graceful, spontaneous Ada and her husband Paolo, a frail teacher and partisan in hiding. Accompanied by Giulia's husband Stefano, who has journeyed from Turin, the two couples form an intense bond, their connection deepened by their shared isolation and the muffled hum of threat that looms over a long and arduous winter. In prose that evokes subtle, enigmatic atmospheres and acutely precise images, Lalla Romano captures the tension and stillness of life in occupied Italy. This captivating classic novel, now translated into English for the first time, delves into the silent spaces between historic events, unveiling the mysterious luminosity of human relationships in extraordinary circumstances.
