A sweeping historical novel about the struggle of one woman and one
village against war, racism and ecological devastation. Curon, 1920
In a small village in South Tyrol, Trina longs for a different
life. She dedicates herself to becoming a teacher, but the year
that she qualifies Mussolini's regime abolishes the use of German
as a teaching language. In this new climate of fear and uncertainty
Trina works for a clandestine network of schools in the valley,
always with the risk of capture. Curon, 1939 Now married and a
mother Trina's life is again thrown into uncertainty when Germany
anounces the 'Great choice' and communities in South Tyrol are
given the opportunity to move to Germany. The town splits and
ever-increasing rifts form among its people. Those, like Trina and
her family, who choose not to leave are seen as traitors and spies;
they can no longer leave the house without suffering abuse. Then
one day Trina comes home and finds that her daughter is missing...
