A stunning debut novel about the intertwined destinies of two friends brought together by childhood tragedy.
Moving..masterful...elegantly discreet * Times Literary Supplement *
A very accomplished book...A melancholic, but strangely beautiful, read. Shaun Whiteside's translation is exemplary and the acute descriptions of teenage competitiveness, angst and aspiration bring to mind Alan Warner's writing. * Guardian *
In clear, heartbreakingly precise prose, the youngest ever winner of the prestigious Premio Strega (the Italian Man Booker) explores how trauma and guilt can capsize emotional stability and leave the vulnerable in a wash of unease and loss...a stunning achievement * Daily Mail *
The year's most important début * La Repubblica *
The story is mesmerising * Good Housekeeping *
