Force of the Past

by Sandro Veronesi

Force of the Past Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Later, after he has sent his wife and son to stay with family, the same cab driver appears at his door and introduces himself as Gianni's father's oldest friend. He certainly talks accurately about Gianni's father, who died less than a fortnight ago. In fact, he seems to know much more about Gianni's respectable, pious father than Gianni ever did, or perhaps ever wants to. Reminiscent of Ian McEwan's 'Enduring Love', 'The Force of the Past' is a breathtakingly clever and entirely gripping story of how a calm, ordinary life can rapidly unravel.

Synopsis:

Gianni Orzan has no reason to feel unhappy. He has just won a prize for his writing along with 15 million lire. He is blissfully married to Anna and is a doting father to his son. But when Gianni leaves the award ceremony a chain of events are set in motion that will shatter his perfect life.
