The Chill

A classic coming of age story, never before published in English, set in Northern Tuscany in the 1950s. Here, the changing seasons stir both the vibrant hues of Bilenchi`s Tuscany and the many moods of the young, nameless protagonist. But the abiding atmosphere is, as the title suggests, wintery. Following the death of his beloved grandfatherm a chill has descended upon the teenage narrator, leaving his estranged from friends and family. His growing awareness of his sexuality also pushes him further from himself.
