In 1943, as American bombs fall on the city of Cagliari, she is thirty and considered an old maid, still living at home with her parents. But when the bombing ceases, and despite her protests, her father forces her to marry the first man to propose, an older widower she doesn't love.\u003cbr\u003eAfter suffering several miscarriages, she is sent for treatment at a spa on the mainland, where she falls in love with an injured Italian army veteran. Back home, she gives birth to a son. She never reveals the affair to her husband--but decades later, she returns to the mainland and travels to her former lover's hometown of Milan. Dressed in her finest coat and shoes, she wanders the streets in search of the elusive veteran . . .Set against a backdrop of rugged mountains and Italian villages lost in time, this international bestselling novel is a multigenerational family saga about love, lust, and country. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Agus's descriptions of the everyday are as beautiful and haunting as her portrayal of life's most dramatic episodes. Add an unexpected ending and the result is a graceful, powerful book.\"--\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e (starred review)\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Europa Editions","offers":[{"title":"From the Land of the Moon | Milena Agus | Paperback | 9781609450014 | Used: Very Good | Fiction 1525397","offer_id":48753918705816,"sku":"1525397","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/51DTTTzkcrL.jpg?v=1774068167","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/from-the-land-of-the-moon","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
