From a tiny isolated village to the high art of Florence, "Dino's
Story: A Novel of 1960s Tuscany" completes the sweeping narrative
of "A Tuscan Trilogy." A boy just born in the first novel of the
trilogy comes to Florence to study art, and, in this tumultuous
decade of change, he is himself transformed as a devastating flood
ruins not only works of art but also the lives of the poor and
helpless.
In the first of the trilogy, "The Cielo: A Novel of Wartime
Tuscany, " terrified villagers confront seemingly insurmountable
dangers while trapped in a farmhouse during the German occupation
of 1944. In the second, "Sparrow's Revenge: A Novel of Postwar
Tuscany," set in 1955, a guilt-ridden partisan relentlessly pursues
the collaborator of one of the worst massacres in Italy during
World War II.
Martha Bergland, author of "A Farm Under a Lake, " calls
"Dino's Story" a "fascinating inside look at Florence through the
eyes of Paul Salsini's warm and complex characters. I couldn't put
it down." Lawrence Baldassaro, Professor Emeritus of Italian and
Comparative Literature, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, found it
"an intriguing coming-of-age tale. "Dino's Story" is a seamless and
conclusive sequel to the first two volumes of Paul Salsini's Tuscan
trilogy. Once again, Salsini combines meticulous research, a keen
eye for detail, and narrative dexterity."
