AN OTHERPPL AUGUST BOOK CLUB PICK
Three generations of the Ansaldo family grapple with the aftermath of a tragic murder in this sweeping, cinematic debut set in 1980s Rome, for fans of Elena Ferrante and Liz Moore.
It’s a sultry August night when sixteen-year-old Betta Ansaldo convinces her cousin Miriam to sneak out to the local beach for a party. Only Miriam returns. Traumatized by the violence she’s witnessed, she remains silent. The small community is riven with grief, none more so than the Ansaldos, who search for answers they cannot find. Who did Betta cross paths with on that fateful night? What was she doing there? And how could such a horrific crime happen in such a peaceful place?
As the years pass, and Betta’s murder goes unsolved, the Ansaldo family fractures under the weight of their loss. When Miriam meets Leo, a sweet-natured young man with a dark past, their romance seems to turn her life around. But when Leo starts to pull loose the threads of Betta’s story, determined to find out what really happened, his search for the truth risks unraveling everything.
With more than 200,000 copies already sold in Italy, All That Is Left of Life is a deeply atmospheric and unputdownable family saga that explores love, loss, and the secrets we carry, from a riveting new voice in international fiction.

Recensioni della critica
"Brentan’s sensitive narration highlights this touching family saga about the ways people cope with unimaginable trauma."

"Carlotta Brentan’s husky voice lays the groundwork for this emotional look into the aftermath of a tragedy, an exploration of victim blaming, incompetent police work, and survivor’s guilt. In 1980s Rome, Betta Ansaldo and her cousin Miriam sneak out of the house late one night to hang out with their friends at a local bonfire. Before they arrive, the two are attacked and brutally raped by unknown assailants. Betta’s body is found the next morning, and in the confusion, Miriam’s own horrific experience is overlooked. Brentan lends the necessary gravitas to the Ansaldo family’s complete collapse while making it clear that Miriam’s strange behavior (anorexia, drug use, and depression) goes unremarked upon by those close to her."

“One of the best books I've read in 2024 . . . [All That is Left of Life] will soon become a classic.”
—Elle España
“One of the most beautiful Italian novels of recent years, difficult to fit into a single genre. Roberta Recchia's book is a vast family saga spanning three generations, combining elements of thriller, romance and Bildungsroman.”
—The Hollywood Reporter Roma
“Every book club will want to discuss this novel. Urgent and affecting, All That is Left of Life is an epic story that holds violence up to the light, where its isolating devastation is shown-but where tenderness and hope are revealed to be just as powerful. Recchia masterfully demonstrates how complicated it can be to survive, yet how worthwhile. This is a sharp-eyed, soft-hearted exploration of the human experience, and I will never forget it.”
