Summary

In an Italian monastery, an infamous sculptor lays on his death bed.

During Mimo's final hours, he reveals his life story: his impoverished childhood, his unlikely rise to fame and most importantly, his meeting with Viola, the daughter of a powerful aristocratic family.

Mimo and Viola are instantly drawn to one another. Together, they traverse the unrest of the twentieth century. While Mimo becomes a celebrated artist, Viola fights to claim her education and independence.

Over the decades, they will lose and find each other, but never will they give up on the love they share.

This book brought me to the point of tears. An incredible sculpture of a novel. stunning.

Nothing could spoil the experience but the performance was awful. Inconsistent and plainly wrong pronunciation of Italian words and names. And also he decided to do a ridiculous fake Italian accent every time anyone spoke. Also there was no distinction made between the two narrators. Distracting and annoying. The only plus on the performance was that the reader had a nice voice and went at a nice pace.

The most beautiful book I've read all year
