A story of revenge and salvation
Two years ago, Augusto De Boer embarked on his annual journey through the Italian Alps, attempting to smuggle his family's tobacco crop across the border to Austria. He never returned.
Now Augusto's daughter Jole must retrace her father's steps alone, navigating the perilous crags and valleys surrounding the border to discover the truth about her father's disappearance.
Soul of the Border is a ferocious tale of revenge, salvation, and an exhilarating journey into the wild.
Matteo Righetto (b. 1972) lives and works in Padua, at the border of the wilderness of north-eastern Italy. Many of his works take place in beautiful mountain landscapes that he knows deeply, having visited them since childhood backpacking with his father. Soul of the Border has become a literary success and was sold in several countries even before its publication in Italy. The second title in the trilogy will be published by Pushkin Press in 2019.
