Table of ContentsReviewsThis novel is a large narrative fresco with visual impact, historical scope and sustained pace, which makes us think of Bertolucci's cinematic epic 1900. It can also be regarded as a kind of Piedmontese counterpart to The Leopard. -- Roberto Severino, Professor Emeritus. Georgetown University. Washington DC The reference to The Leopard is the first thing that comes to mind because of the analogous situation of an old prominent family experiencing its gradual decline, but also Buddenbrooks by Thomas Mann and The Family Moskat by Isaac Singer. -- Riccardo Riccardi, composer, artist and author. It's a beautiful story. The language is impeccable, not overly literary (unnatural), and not overly conversational (sloppy) either. It's the perfect language for this story, a saga with its truth filtered through the fabric of narration. It's the work of a novelist, not of a memoirist. -- Camilla Baresani, author of four novels, the latest is Himalayan Pink Salt.
