What is home? It's a question that has troubled Marchelle Farrell for her entire life. A longed-for career in psychiatry saw her leave behind the pristine beaches and emerald hills of Trinidad. Until, disillusioned, she uprooted again, this time for the peaceful English countryside. The only Black woman in her village, Marchelle hopes to grow a new life. But when a worldwide pandemic and a global racial reckoning collide, the upheaval of colonialism that has led her to this place begins to be unearthed. Is this really home?

Francesco è il primo italiano perché è fondamentale nel costruire l'identità italiana. Perché scrive la prima, splendida poesia in italiano: il Cantico delle Creature. Perché percorre l'Italia, dalle grandi città alla campagna, e inventa il presepe. Cazzullo racconta la vita straordinaria di Francesco, la giovinezza piena di ideali cavallereschi, la rottura con il padre, la spoliazione, l'incontro con il Papa, fino al grande mistero: le stimmate.

In the process, he reveals a period where the Middle East was a place of ethnic and cultural harmony—where Arabs and Jews rubbed shoulders in bazaars and teashops, intermarried and shared family history.
