Omschrijving
A sweeping historical novel about the struggle of one woman and one village against war, racism and ecological devastation.
[An] intimate historical novel... Trina's inner life and the inexorable rising waters bridge the temporal divide of years and generations, offering the reader a painfully relevant metaphor for the ways in which we must live our lives in a world that grows increasingly unstable'
Balzano employs an unpretentious style to explore Trina's life and wider questions about an individual's relationship to a particular place
Focusing on a town that disappeared under water, Balzano wrote a story of not-belonging and temporariness deeply rooted in today's reality
A novel that gets even better with every chapter, as it happens with talented storytellers'
An epic tale of love, family relationships, war and belonging, this is a beautifully written and atmospheric tale... Balzano's prose is evocative and intense, deftly painting a picture. The story itself is gripping, accompanied by equally compelling snippets of European history'
Balzano illuminates a war waged upon the South Tyrol even after 'the war' was over. Balzano recites horrors in a cool, unvarnished tone, cataloging a life upended by war and, worse, by its remembrance
Through its short chapters and understated prose, I'm Staying Here is an arresting novel about a small but beautiful place in constant turmoil and conflict with itself – turmoil that we discover will continue even past the war years when the town of Curon ended up facing its biggest threat of all
