I don't understand the characters at all, especially the girl. And yet it was still an engaging - moving - read, this against a backdrop of Italy described as only a person who had a most intimate acquaintance with it could provide. Maybe my uncertainty is the sign of a good book. I hope so, it is what the fourth star is for. (  ) bringbackbooks | Jun 16, 2020 | By sally tarbox on 22 Oct. 2012 Format: Paperback Beautiful, evocative descriptions abound in this work set in Tuscany. A romance gradually kindles between middle aged, married Tancredi and young Sophia, to a backdrop of 1950s (?) Italy. I was particularly struck by the chapter where Sophia has arranged to meet him outside a town where a fiesta is taking place and where the vividly rendered procession means she is hemmed in and fears she will miss him. Classy style, but like another reviewer, I must agree that it doesn't leave any lasting impression. (  ) starbox | Jul 10, 2016 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Passionate undercurrents sweep in and out of this eloquent novel about a love affair in the summer countryside in Italy and its inevitable end. It takes place in a setting of pastoral beauty during a time of celebration -- a festival. Sophie, half English, half Italian, meets Tancredi, an Italian who is separated from his wife and family. In telling the story of their love affair, author Shirley Hazzard punctures the placid surface of polite Italian society to reveal the intense yearnings and surprising responses in sophisticated people caught up in emotions they do not always understand.
