‘A beautiful story that draws a line between the expressible and the inexpressible. A story with no options and no way out, just like for the protagonists of certain Greek tragedies’
―Valeria Parrella, Grazia

‘This book―which speaks of love, hunger, survival and remorse―will end up engraved on your heart’
―Marie Claire Italy
