Andrea Molesini's beautiful debut book - success of the prestigious Campiello Reward - portrays the depths of heroism and horror within the Northern Italian village toward the finish of the Great Warfare. While a family's villa is requisitioned by opponent troops, they can be required to intimately confront war's injustice as their engagement with its sinister underpinnings develops increasingly more complex. In the fall of 1917, Refrontolo - a small community north of Venice - is invaded by Austrian soldiers as the Italian army is pressed to the Piave river. The Spada family has the largest house in the area, where orphaned 17-year-old Paolo lives along with his eccentric grandparents, his headstrong aunt, and a faithful staff. Using the battlefront close by, the Spada home becomes a bastion of level of resistance, both clashing and cooperating with the armed service members imposing on the home. When Paolo is recruited to aid in a covert operation, his life is put in irrevocable jeopardy. As he bears see to violence and hostility between foes, he grows to comprehend the value of courage, dignity, family bonds, and patriotism during wartime.
