Carlo, a native of the South, gets off, accompanied by his wife, Anna. Originally from the North, she discovers an unfamiliar land, frozen in time, weighed down by the burden of tradition. Anna doesn’t go to church; she loves to read and is curious. In the eyes of the villagers, she is “the outsider.” Against Carlo’s advice, she becomes Lizzanello’s first female mail carrier. For more than twenty years—first on foot, then by bicycle—she delivers the mail: lovers’ letters; letters from men sent to the front or who had left to seek their fortune abroad. Serving as a bridge between the villagers, Anna knows all their secrets. But there is one secret she will keep until her death. Against the backdrop of historical events, Francesca Giannone—who drew inspiration from her great-grandmother’s past as a mail carrier—paints a portrait of a free spirit and tells a deeply moving love story. Despite the tragedies and unfulfilled desires, a luminous atmosphere pervades these pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eItalie, années 1930. Un car s arrête sur la place de Lizzanello, petit village des Pouilles. Carlo, l enfant du Sud, en descend, accompagné d Anna, sa femme. Originaire du Nord, celle-ci découvre une terre inconnue, figée dans le temps, écrasée par le poids des traditions. Anna ne va pas à l église, aime lire, est curieuse. Elle est, aux yeux des villageois, « l étrangère ». Contre l avis de Carlo, elle devient la première postière de Lizzanello. Pendant plus de vingt ans, d abord à pied puis à bicyclette, elle délivre le courrier : les missives des amants ; les lettres des hommes envoyés au front ou partis chercher fortune à l étranger. Trait d union entre les habitants du village, Anna connaît tous les secrets. Mais il en est un qu elle gardera jusqu à sa mort.Au gré des événements de l Histoire, Francesca Giannone, qui s est inspirée du passé de son arrière-grand-mère factrice, dresse le portrait d un esprit libre et livre une bouleversante histoire d amour.Malgré les drames, les désirs inassouvis, une ambiance lumineuse règne sur ces pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-nostyle a-vertical a-spacing-none detail-bullet-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eItem weight ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e290 g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eDimensions ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e11.1 x 2.3 x 17.8 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Clotilde French Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68084518256751,"sku":"9782253256366","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/1814\/5135\/files\/6851563482990.jpg?v=1793405821","url":"https:\/\/clotildefrenchbookstore.com\/products\/9782253256366","provider":"Clotilde French Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
