Review
from the early US reviews: 'A graceful novel... Giardina manages to handle an enormous amount of emotional material with a light touch, and the long, looping arguments between Luca and those closest to him have the ring of truth. Giardina makes us care, in the end, what happens to our hero.' New York Times 'An emotionally piercing, quietly beautiful novel that perceptively examines one family's struggles with the desire for social, sexual and economic success.' Kirkus Reviews 'A haunting novel about surviving in the wake of our parents' choices... emotionally riveting, reminding us of the importance of accepting love in whatever form it presents itself.' Entertainment Weekly
