A sweeping novel about how the most significant, pivotal moments in history are linked to the fates of ordinary people.
Trina lives in a place called Kuron in the South Tyrol Valley, annexed by Italy from Austria. She works as a teacher when Mussolini forbids teaching in German. Many people don't know Italian and leave for Germany, but Trina and her husband Erich decide to stay. When Tyrol comes under Hitler's rule, they flee to the mountains, knowing: the Nazis must not win, and love is stronger than adversity. But when the war ends, Kuron faces a new danger....
Reassessing her life, Trina turns to her daughter, long since abandoned by her family. These dramatic, loving and painful letters answer the question, what is the price of loyalty to one's land and to oneself?
All that remains of Kuron today is the bell tower that rises above the lake. Inspired by its view, Balzano has written a poignant and very modern story of willpower, resistance and true love.
