In 2004, the book was awarded the Prix Goncourt. In 2007, it received the “Librarian’s Choice” Award for Best Translation of the Year, as well as the Alexandre Dumas French Cultural Centre Award for Best Translation from French. This novel takes us to southern Italy, with its dazzling colours and the shining eyes of the poor, calloused hands and abundant tables, the call of the land and passionate emotions, sun-browned faces and direct, proud, fearless gazes. The strength of the Scortas lies in their silence. And yet, their story must be told so that their memories and knowledge may be passed down through the generations.
