That Summer in Puglia

by Valeria Vescina

Description

That Summer In Puglia is a tale of love, loss, the perils of self-deception and the power of compassion. Puglia offers an ideal setting: its layers of history are integral to the story, itself an excavation of a man’s past; Tommaso’s increasingly vivid memories of its sensuous colours, aromas and tastes, and of how it felt to love and be loved, eventually transform the discomforting tone with which he at first tries to keep Will – and painful truths – at a distance. This remarkable debut combines a gripping plot and perceptive insights into human nature with delicate lyricism.
