Return to Valetto A Novel
Compelling tale that smoothly ties together themes of love, loss, and the enduring power of trust. From the opening page, the story immerses readers in the fascinating world of Valetto, a nearly desolate Italian town that was once a bustling city that withstood decades of adversity, including earthquakes and avalanches. It became a hub of resistance and shelter during World War II. Only five people remain in this haunting setting, including the intriguing Serafino widows—three unusual sisters and their steely centenarian mother.
