The immigrants : fabula mirabilis, or, a wonderful story
Giovannoni, Moreno2025
Book
In the Victorian town of Mitrefò, tobacco is grown, an Italian cinema and cafe open, and people travel back and forth from Italy. A boy fishes, wanders the countryside and watches a community form, with its joys, scandals and shared understandings. Interspersed are the 'grotesques' - indelible and terrible events that sit alongside the better future they all seek. In The Immigrants, Moreno Giovannoni depicts a family as they build a new life in a strange land. Through love and exile, industry and tragedy, their unspoken dreams and fears unfold in this astonishing and moving book.
