The plot is a bit 'obvious. The story also. The narrative description of the characters flat and the idealistic and not realistic.
seems more a wish than a story. Is there a conflict dull.
short, a disappointment.
I was hoping that at least there were some good "photo of literature" in Orvieto, but he did not, because it assumes that you know very well the city and at the beauty of literary descriptions is the "perspective" emotional and transmission.
The finish then ... say that it was granted is an understatement.
If you have not read it better to do. But hurry!
From the back cover: "Matilde, a forty Roman lonely and wounded from the soul, he went to Orvieto, an ancient and beautiful city, perched on a rock of yellowish tufa, to seek refuge. is accepted by a simple, compact communities, a diverse and heterogeneous group of people whose lives are intertwined to form an unbreakable chain. At the heart of Matilda's life there are always books, and now the library in which the offer work, half and half modern antiquarian. His days unfold at a pace slow walk or riding bicycles to that familiar, the continuing discovery of glimpses of the city and the human soul. The events and passages of time are marked by his reading, as if between the lines of a story or verse, he hid the mystery of his pain, his boils never solved. Orvieto but also has its secrets, hidden in homes, in the depths of the wells in the woods of chestnut trees that surround it. It will be an ancient and majestic chestnut tree to open and close the story, to show the body of a hanged man hanging from one of its branches, framed by dark and impenetrable boundaries, something that happened ten years before and had forgotten that back in the limelight by accident and will affect seriously the fate of the entire the community.
