Nives has recently lost her husband of fifty years. She didn't cry when she found him dead in the pig pen, she didn't cry at the funeral, but now loneliness has set in. When she decides to bring her favorite chicken inside for company, she is shocked, confused, and a little bit guilty to discover that the chicken's company is a more than adequate replacement for her dead husband. But one day, Giacomina goes stiff in front of the tv. Unable to rouse the paralyzed chicken, Nives has no choice but to call the town veterinarian, Loriano, Bottai, an old acquaintance of hers. What follows is a phone call that seems to last a lifetime, a phone call that becomes a novel. Their conversation veers from the chicken to the past -- to the life they once shared the secrets they never had the courage to reveal, wounds that never healed. Nives reverberates with the kinds of stories we tell ourselves at night when we cannot sleep: stories of love lost, of abandonment, of silent and heart-breaking nostalgia, of joy, laughter, and despair. With delicate yet sharp prose and raw, astonishing honesty, Sacha Naspini bravely explores the core of our shared humanity. -- from the publisher. 650 0 $a Widows $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Loss (Psychology) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Loneliness $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Tuscany (Italy) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Botsford, Clarissa, $e translator. 941 $a 6 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117012212.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010021935.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20220104010742.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20211005010636.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210507010046.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20210504013547.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BA26C20AAC9F11EBAF53C5C920ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
