Translated by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jhumpa Lahiri, Ties is a compulsively readable and provocative novel about marriage and family by one of Italy”s bestselling novelists.Like many marriages, Vanda and Aldo”s has been subject to strain, to attrition, to the burden of routine. Yet it has survived intact. Or so things appear. The rupture in their marriage lies years in the past, but if one looks closely enough, the fissures and fault lines are evident. It is a cracked vase that may shatter at the slightest touch. Or perhaps it has already shattered, and nobody is willing to acknowledge the fact. Domenico Starnone”s thirteenth work of fiction is a powerful short novel about relationships, family, love, and the ineluctable consequences of one”s actions. Known as a consummate stylist and beloved as a talented storyteller, Domenico Starnone is the winner of Italy”s most prestigious literary award, The Strega.
