I was captivated from the first page and I know Marta's unique voice will stay with me for a long time. Bravissima!' Tomasz Jedrowski, author of Swimming in the DarkNewly-bereaved, bookish and lonely in Turin, a  young woman sets out to chronicle her father's  secret lives - and her struggle to accept his loss.  She is startled to discover that the gentle, mercurial  doctor was sentenced to jail in 1986 for membership  of an armed band. Her father, L.B., lived through  the Years of Lead, a time of unrest when extreme  factions of left and right took hostages, set bombs  and murdered their countrymen.   Unable to move on before she can understand  her family's past, she goes in search of him - and  ultimately of herself too - the only way she knows  how, by reading everything she can ... Through her  search for the truth, a very different picture starts to  emerge.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56312894914933,"sku":"9781788168557","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781788168557.jpg?v=1762824324","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781788168557","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
