Cristian is enterprising and determined. Maddalena is tenacious and
quite able to imagine - and defend - her own future. Cristian and
Maddalena have always known each other, and if fate had not gone
awry they might already be married. But between them, exactly in
the middle, there is Domenico: Cristian's childhood friend who has
grown up alongside him like a brother. And when Cristian succumbs
to the fate of the Chironis - that curse of illnesses, murders and
suicides that has blighted his family over the years - it is
Domenico that Maddalena marries. Taking his trilogy of the Chironi
family up to the present day, Marcello Fois has woven a delicately
detailed story, full of dormant passions, plot twists, betrayals
and reconciliations. The epic scope and the dramatic tension of his
writing means that while his trilogy might be the story of one
family on a tiny island, it has a universality, a humanity and a
power to speak to anyone of us.
