Della terra in cui è nata le sono rimasti pochi ricordi, vaghi e confusi: la zia Aster che si sforza di farla mangiare, i suoi passi a testa bassa sulla strada per la scuola, i giochi con il cugino Abbush e i bambini del quartiere. Le è rimasto il nome, che in amarico significa “nostalgia” e sembra alludere a qualcosa di originario che le mancherà sempre. E il cognome, Abraham, preso da un padre che non conosce, ma che si trascina dietro come un’ombra, come la traccia di un passato divenuto ormai troppo distante. Perché Tezeta è italiana.

This is the story of a village, a small Italian village, and its inhabitants. A village where life revolves around simple, traditional things: family, work, the bar, and the church. A village where nothing extraordinary ever seems to happen, and yet (or perhaps precisely because of this?) the rumor mill is constantly churning. Nearly all the stories whispered about are baseless, made up, serving only to spice up daily life and bring a touch of color to an otherwise dreary existence. This is true for most stories. Only occasionally, in a single village, something truly extraordinary happens.

Camera-shy Elise Branson is different from the other women in her maternal line. Her mother is an award-winning actress. Her late grandmother, Vivian Snow, is a beloved Hollywood icon.
