Description - Heaven and Earth by Paolo Giordano
'A devastating marvel of a novel' Sunday Telegraph'A fluid, expansive writer' New York Times'You can almost feel the red soil of Puglia under your sandals' Daily Mail'Raw and evocative: a breathtaking and poignant creation' Herald'A stunning achievement' Andre Aciman'Perfect, with characters who feel like old friends' Andrew Sean Greer'Giordano is one of the handful of great writers working anywhere today' Edmund WhiteEvery summer Teresa follows her father to his childhood home in Puglia, down in the heel of Italy, a land of relentless, shimmering heat and centuries-old olive groves. There Teresa spends long afternoons enveloped in a sun-struck stupor, reading her grandmother's cheap crime paperbacks.Everything changes the summer she meets the three boys who live on the masseria next door: Nicola, Tommaso and Bern - the man Teresa will love for the rest of her life. Raised like brothers on a farm that feels to Teresa almost suspended in time, the three boys share a complex, intimate and seemingly unassailable bond. But no bond is unbreakable and no summer truly endless, as Teresa soon discovers.
