When Giuseppe Mundula first sees Michele Angelo Chironi across the
corridor of a Sardinian orphanage, the reserved blacksmith realises
he has found the son and heir he never knew he needed. And when, a
few years later, Michele himself looks down from a church rooftop
and sees the beautiful Mercede, the quiet orphan realises he has
found the woman he will marry. So begins Marcello Fois' magisterial
domestic epic of the lives and loves of the Chironi family, as they
struggle through war and fascism. Deftly endowing familial horrors
with mythical resonance, Fois creates a Dantesque triptych that
inscribes the history of twentieth-century Sardinia onto a single
misbegotten household.
