Puglia, Italy, 1918. Vitantonio and Giovanna are born moments apart, just as their fathers die in the trenches of WWI. Vitantonio's family line is nearly wiped out — all 21 men gone, except him. To protect her son from the "curse of death," his mother tells a lie that will bind him to Giovanna for the rest of their lives.
Lyrical, atmospheric, and emotionally charged, The Last Son's Secret is a sweeping multigenerational saga of family secrets, survival, love, and betrayal — set against the rich backdrop of southern Italy and the long shadow of war. Evocative Mediterranean storytelling at its finest.
Perfect for fans of Isabel Allende's The House of the Spirits, Carlos Ruiz Zafón's The Shadow of the Wind, and Elif Shafak's The Island of Missing Trees. A beautiful addition to any literary fiction or Mediterranean family saga collection.
A trade paperback (2017, Transworld) in Very Good condition.
