Forced back to her remote hometown by the war, Giulia is
immediately drawn to a couple in a similar situation: graceful,
spontaneous Ada and her husband Paolo, a sickly teacher and
partisan in hiding. Joined from Turin by Giulia's husband Stefano,
the two couples form an intense bond; as the Germans begin to
occupy Italy, a subtle dance of attractions begins, intensified by
their shared isolation and the muffled hum of threat over a long,
hard winter. In prose of subtle, enigmatic atmospheres and acutely
precise images, Lalla Romano evokes both the tension and the
stillness of life in occupied Italy. Translated into English for
the first time, A Silence Shared is a captivating classic novel
that inhabits the silent spaces between historic events, depicting
the mysterious luminosity of human relationships in extraordinary
circumstances.
