In small town post-World-War-2 Italy, Elsa tells about various people in the town--focused largely on Balotta's family, the local factory owners. The book discusses the family and children, their friends, pastimes, and important employees. The real story, though never discusses as such, is what was lost and changed because of the war. Politics (black shirts, socialists, communists, partisans) disrupted families and friendships. Men left to fight and largely came back--one was killed right in town. Marriages didn't happen or unlikely marriages did happen. The war might have ended, but the effects of the war are still there. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

"In a quiet Italian town after World War Two, Elsa lives with her parents in the house where she was born. Twenty-seven and unmarried, she is a constant concern to her obsessive, hypochondriac mother. But her mother does not know that Elsa has fallen in love with Tommasino, the elusive youngest son of the De Francisci family, who own the textile factory that dominates the town. Over the course of their secret meetings, Elsa begins to imagine a future with Tommasino, free from the constraints of expectations and burdensome history. But this is all threatened by exposure. An elegant and beautifully re-strained novel that scratches at the fragility of postwar consciousness, Voices in the Evening is an unforgettable story about first love and lost chances"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
