In the summer of 1975, a thirteen-year-old girl's world is upended when she discovers she isn't the daughter of the family she grew up with, losing everything she once knew. Suddenly thrust into her real family in the rugged Abruzzo region of central Italy, she faces a foreign and antiquated world untouched by modernity. Gone are the comforts of her previous life as an only child, replaced by the challenges of adapting to a new family and environment, where she must navigate unfamiliar customs and relationships. This compelling narrative is adapted from the novel by Donatella di Pietrantonio, winner of the prestigious Campiello Prize in 2017.
