Spatriati

“If the breezy translation belies the gravity of the book’s themes, it’s only because these lovable characters are themselves masters of a lively sprezzatura despite the difficulties of their lives.” —Necessary Fiction, Recommended Reading

“The thematic threads in Spatriati are many, and they’re all teased out engagingly and extensively…a story that’s deeply compelling and wholly contemporary.” —Art Spiel, Fall Reads to Note

“An ode to the young, irregular, irreverent generation…combines the poetry of love with the harshness of an internal struggle…between the desire to stay in the small Apulian town where Claudia and Francesco were born and the dream of escaping to a lively, cosmopolitan Europe.” —Elle (Italy)
