An emotional drama of a family haunted by love, loss, and broken dreams. Elena is left behind, pregnant, in her Italian mountain village when her lover Riccardo pursues his dreams of a new life in the New World. Elena's own journey takes her and her son to Paris and the South of France where she begins a new life with her brother-in-law Giacomo, whose dreams manifest in his imaginative art. Young Marco, the son, obsesses with the languages and stories of global refugees, little understands his own family's curse -- their failure to find contentment far from their homelands. Poignant and sensitive, Faccini evokes a world teeming with lost souls, from the back streets of Paris to the marshlands of the Camargue.

Loved this book. A very moving narrative and characters that are flawed and interesting.
