Descrizione libro Soft cover. Condizione: New. Other than mark on lower text block this is a tight, clean and unread copy- After a harrowing voyage from Italy, during which his mother died, seven-year-old Vittorio arrives in Canada with his newborn half-sister, and is reunited with his estranged father, a dark, isolated, and angry figure he hardly knows. The story that follows spans two decades of Vittorios life within an immigrant Italian farming community in Southwestern Ontario, through his university years, and then into Africa where he goes to teach. At the centre of Vittorios existence is his strained relationship with his father and with his half-sister, Rita. In a Glass House is a haunting tale about perseverance and longed-for redemption. Ricci juxtaposes the intimate, complex world of family, with its shadowy intricate web of alliances, against the dislocations of the immigrant experience. The result is a richly textured and memorable novel. Codice articolo 010178
