"Claudio Bianchi has lived alone for many years on a hillside in Southern Italy's scenic Calabria. Set in his ways and suspicious of outsiders, Claudio has always resisted change, preferring farming and writing poetry. But one chilly morning, as though from a dream, an impossible visitor appears at the farm. When Claudio comes to her aid, an act of kindness throws his world into chaos. Suddenly he must stave off inquisitive onlookers, invasive media, and even more sinister influences" -- provided by publisher.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

A sweetly melancholy story submitted by terpsichore17 on July 16, 2019, 1:26pm Shorter than The Last Unicorn and, I think, sweeter on the whole, for being rooted in Italian earth and a somewhat cranky man on a farm, fending off news cameras and hunters.
