Destinies of both Italian and Libyan families- -fuyant violence of decolonization and the military dictatorship. Two stories that echo those of thousands of economic refugees, political worldwide. A short novel imbued with great sensitivity or author focuses on small moments of fleeting happiness. Sacrificed destinies, trauma felt by subsequent generations.
I took great pleasure in reading this novel. The two stories come together. A work that still resonates powerfully in 2015 with the massive influx of African migrants in Europe. A moment of strong reading to sharpen reflection.
