Klappentext
A breathtakingly beautiful novel about the first 4 years and last 4 months of a great love, by a "lacerating, luminous" Italian author (Jhumpa Lahiri, author of Interpreter of Maladies)Perfect for fans of short, razor-sharp modern literary classics like Annie Ernaux and Joan Didion's The Year of Magical Thinking
Upon the death of her husband, Innocenzo Monti, Lalla Romano sought to distil the essence of their long life together. The result was In Farthest Seas a piercingly intimate retelling of the first 4 years and final 4 months of their relationship, built from shard-like moments of connection and revelation.
The 1st section spans the couple's early attraction, which developed through long conversations on hikes in the mountains surrounding Cuneo, to their wedding and arrival at their first home together. A subtle note of elegy sounds through these recollections of love, and this note comes to the fore in the longer 2nd section that recounts the final 4 months of Innocenzo's life.
With precise artistry, Romano braids together seemingly minor details--the expressiveness of Innocenzo's hands, the beauty of his face in sleep, a fleeting instance of pallor-that come to reveal the barest truths of life and death. Unsparing yet tender, minimal yet monumental, In Farthest Seas is a startlingly moving elegy, and erhaps the greatest work by a rediscovered Italian master, who's been compared to Natalia Ginzburg and Cesare Pavese.
