Omschrijving
After an afternoon of surfing, television executive Pietro Paladini and his brother Carlo spot two women struggling far off in the waves. Pietro and Carlo race to save them, and after fighting the currents and exhaustion, bring them safely to shore. Now late to get home, Pietro hurries up from the beach only to find his young daughter, Claudia.
"Mr. Veronesi sustains the opening scene's excitement as he stirs a psychological ferment...The overpowering sense of fragility that touches Pietro and Claudia is superbly conveyed by translator Michael F. Moore. Let's hope more novels from Mr. Veronesi's back catalog join 'Quiet Chaos' in translation." -- Wall Street Journal "Dazzling... Like a literary Fellini, Veronesi brings to life the larger-than-life human comedy as only an Italian would dare, uproariously funny in the face of stark tragedy. It's a reading experience not to be missed." -- Shelf Awareness "[An] absorbing second novel." -- Publishers Weekly
Sandro Veronesi was born in Prato, Italy, in 1959. The Force of the Past, is his first to be published in America. He lives in Rome, Italy.
