About the book:
A story of love, dreams, exile and tragedy, told with heartbreaking beauty
‘Although if they are asked before they die, they all say they came here for a better life, they do not always find a better life, do they?’
In the Victorian town of Mitrefò, tobacco is grown, an Italian cinema and café open, and people travel back and forth from Italy. A boy fishes, wanders the countryside and watches a community form, with its joys, scandals and shared understandings. Interspersed are the ‘grotesques’ – indelible and terrible events that sit alongside the better future they all seek.
In The Immigrants, Moreno Giovannoni depicts a family as they build a new life in a strange land. Through love and exile, industry and tragedy, their unspoken dreams and fears unfold in this astonishing and moving book.
Moreno Giovannoni is the author of the critically acclaimed The Fireflies of Autumn and a freelance translator. He was the inaugural winner of the Deborah Cass Prize for Writing in 2016.
