The Way Back (Masks)

by EnricoPalandri (Author), StuartHood (Translator)

Synopsis

The Way Back is a novel of exile and return. It is the story of Davide, an Italian psychiatrist, and his Scottish wife, Julia, a singer. Travelling back to Rome from London, Davide sees before him memories of his generation: his childhood and family, political dissent and terrorism, elected exile and yearning for his native land. The peculiar prerogative of the ?migr? is seen to be an absolute clarity of mind where self and country are concerned. Beautifully written and hauntingly moving, The Way Back is among the most impressive Italian novels of the past few years.
