When war or flood comes, people flee. People, but not Trina.

Today, in place of the quaint Curon in South Tyrol, Italy, only the church bell tower remains, rising above the waters of Lake Resia. An idyllic picture that has immersed the memory of the encounter between the “little” person and the devastating power of politics, war and progress.

A brave woman tells her missing daughter the epic story of their native village.

With a heartfelt and powerful voice, Marco Balzano gives new life to the story of a sunken village. Since its publication, his novel has been a finalist for the prestigious Strega 2018 award, won 10 significant literary awards in 2018 and 2019, and is among the best-selling works of contemporary Italian literature.
