A Lyrical Novel of Belonging, Foreignness, and Ethnicity:
Laure, driven by her late geneticist husband's legacy, ventures to the rugged mountains of Abruzzo, Italy, to the town of Malaterra. Initially an outsider, she gradually earns the acceptance of the close-knit Albanian community. Among the intriguing characters she encounters are Helena, a mother who harbors a deep-seated hatred and waits patiently for her daughter's rapist to return; the Kosovar, a bookseller with a mysterious past; Mourad, the charming baker who proposes marriage to every woman who enters his bakery; and Yussuf, the diligent postman who completes his rounds even when there is no mail to deliver.
Furthermore, the novel introduces us to the unfortunate assailant who returns from exile, driven by a desire to reclaim and restore his family home. Through humor and compassion, this book vividly portrays the lives of the inhabitants of a small, remote town nestled in the majestic mountains of Abruzzo.
