In an Italian monastery, an infamous sculptor lies 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.

Timeless * Daily Mail * A sprawling fresco and star-crossed love story * New York Times * An inventive epic * Elle * All the savagery and beauty of Italian life between the wars is found in this utterly compelling tale of art, love, sacrifice and vengeance.
