In a majestic Alpine village touched only faintly by the upheavals of modern life, a strict schoolteacher's family undergoes a profound shift when a mysterious Sicilian soldier arrives fleeing the front lines of World War II. As the seasons change, the family's three very different daughters will each find their lives transformed. Blending historically grounded realism with painterly grace, Delpero draws from her own family's history for an at once intimate and momentous vision of a world suspended between the patriarchal past and the stirrings of a new future.
