About This Book

A young woman arrives in a secluded mountain valley and is warmly received by relatives and townspeople, who guide her through a landscape of rocky bridges, ironworks and terraced fields. The narrative weaves expansive description of natural and industrial scenery with close domestic scenes: embraces and reunions, communal greetings, gifts of flowers and clothing, and explanations of local landmarks. Her wonder at the dramatic surroundings and the everyday gestures of hospitality convey a sense of fulfilled longing and belonging, while the text balances picturesque topography and labor with intimate family dynamics and regional customs.
