Description
In the sun-drenched quiet of her family’s timeworn Italian agriturismo, ten-year-old Leo learns to read the world through small remnants—lost jewelry, overheard stories, and the myths her father tells at night. An accident fractures her childhood and divides her life into “before” and “after,” leaving her to return years later to a summer that feels both familiar and irrevocably changed. As she navigates a complicated romance with an American girl, Leo confronts the shifting boundaries of desire, identity, and belonging, while her family’s tensions threaten to turn every tenderness into something consequential. With atmospheric yearning and incisive emotional clarity, Sofia Montrone’s debut captures the exhilaration and ache of girlhood—how we try to preserve what’s slipping away, and how love can force the truth to surface.
