About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The new novel from prizewinning author Paolo Cognetti is a love story set in a tiny village high in the Italian Alps. Its protagonists, Fausto and Silvia, meet in winter, their relationship becoming a refuge in all senses, and the seasons, as well as the mountains, an integral part of their story together. It has a classic, enduring appeal, a cinematic feel, a captivating backdrop and a romantic sensibility underpinned by a spare, powerful prose style.

Across both fiction and nonfiction, Cognetti's writing seeks to understand human interactions with landscape, interpreting what our obsessions with extremes of beauty, endurance and isolation tell us about ourselves and our relationships with others.

Cognetti has an easy way with words. An easy and enjoyable listen. The narration also suited the story, soft and with a steady cadence.

A beautifully simple but exquisite read
