Description
The first English translation of Milena Agus' international bestseller. A young, unnamed woman explores the life of her Sardinian grandmother - a romantic, bewitching, eccentric woman whose life was characterised by honour, passion and the abiding search for perfect love that spanned most of the 20th century. Ever in the background of this remarkable woman's story is the stunning Sardinian landscape - the deep blue of the Mediterranean, the rugged mountains of the Sardinian back country and the charming villages lost in time.
