About this listen

 WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY ANDRÉ ACIMAN, AUTHOR OF CALL ME BY YOUR NAME

'A classic of Italian gay fiction . . . the whole thing is bathed in elegiac pathos'
THE SUNDAY TIMES

'An Italian novel of imperfect love and urgent grief'
NEW YORK TIMES

'Beautiful and poignant'
THE TIMES

'A stunning novel . . . prepare to be deeply moved'
JACK PARLETT, author of Fire Island

Thomas, a young German musician, is dying. His older boyfriend, a renowned Italian writer named Leo, finds it impossible to watch the slow and inevitable demise of his lover; he condemns himself to moving cities every few weeks instead, in the hope of finding a semblance of peace.

He travels through Europe where past and present overlap, years merge and faces emerge - and where reminders of the life he and Thomas shared are on every corner. Leo's memories become clearer with every road he takes, much as he wishes he could simply forget. Wanting to preserve the passion of their relationship, Leo had forced Thomas to live separately: in separate rooms, separate towns, with separate lives. But now, face to face with true solitude, Leo must finally reckon with the impossible striving of memory to recreate life and, ultimately, cross an ocean to find the strength to go on.©2017 Giunti Editore S.p.A/Bompiani (P)2025 Hodder & Stoughton Limited City Life Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Literature & Fiction Romance Urban World Literature Italy
