The work explores life in a small Italian village during a period of political strife and social change, specifically focusing on the intertwining lives of its residents. Themes of love, loss, and the impact of war are likely to be central to the narrative, reflecting the intertwining of personal and public histories. The opening of the book introduces the setting of a picturesque valley by the Bormida River, describing its breathtaking landscapes and the life of the villagers who inhabit it. It centers around a woman named Maddalena, who is waiting for her son Giuliano to return home during the politically tumultuous year of 1794. As she waits, her thoughts drift between memories of her late husband and the worries of her son’s safety amid the presence of foreign soldiers, the Alemanni. The tension builds as Maddalena's unease about her son’s frequent visits to his old teacher, Don Marco, becomes apparent, paralleling the larger sociopolitical anxieties that loom over their village. Through rich descriptions, the beginning sets a tone of nostalgia and impending change, drawing readers into the lives of the characters against the backdrop of historical events.
