Описание:
Told with the intimacy and ferocity of Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan Novels and set in the passionate, intense, and crumbling neighborhood known as the Spanish Quarter of Naples, comes a tale of two students searching for love and belonging in the city they so desperately want to call home.
Years after leaving Naples with a broken heart, Heddi receives an email from her first love. Although she now lives in New Zealand, just the thought of the Spanish Quarter's narrow, winding streets sparks the pain of longing. Heddi had found her place in that city built on Roman ruins and set against a sleeping volcano. A place she wants to call home despite being l'americano or the American. For Heddi's group of university friends, Naples is either a refuge from their familial responsibilities or an entryway to a wider world. But for all of them, Naples was their real university of life: the setting of their unrestrained youth.
When Heddi first met Pietro at a party hosted by her bohemian roommates, she was inexplicably drawn to the serious geology student. Despite coming from wildly different backgrounds--Heddi, a nomadic American; Pietro, an Italian farm boy--the two fell into a liberating romance. She was searching for the roots she never had, while he tried to escape his. Yet even after the two were doomed to part ways, their story isn't finished just yet.
Inspired by her own 10-year search for belonging in Naples, author Heddi Goodrich gives readers a passionate tale of a life caught between two worlds and a heartfelt ode to first love--of a place, of a person-- where languages and cultures collide while dreams soar and crash in unexpected ways.

Описание:
The idea for this book really started when I heard a story on the internet concerning Logan and how he had to put down a calf because its mother couldn't provide the necessary nourishment. Logan was just a ten- or twelve-year-old at the time and a son of a farmer. I don't know if that internet site is still active as you read this, but it was a sad tale from a young son of the farmer, and the calf was basically his responsibility. He was a wise young man for his age, however, and reflected on the task as being similar to God having to put down his son. He made the comment that he couldn't imagine how God felt when his son was put on the cross. Since I have difficulty knowing how God felt as well, I accepted this lack of understanding as a challenge for writing this book. I chose the last days of Jesus here on earth as the inspiration. I wanted to see if I could put this sacrificial act into a perspective that I could understand. Although I didn't use every act, the ones I chose were selected to determine if I could put myself into Jesus's situation and respond as Jesus did or at least respond according to my understanding and interpretation of how Jesus responded.
