Il Sangue tra i Castagni

An Italian-language novel set in 1993 among the stone villages and chestnut forests of Tuscia, where long-buried family secrets return to collect their debt. Fiorentini’s landscape is not background; it is an inheritance, holding every promise, grievance, and silence the family believed it had buried.
