Giacomo is stuck in a funk he can''''t shake - and a translation he can''''t finish. When he''''s summoned home to Sardinia, to say a final goodbye to his dying grandmother, he''''s offered the perfect opportunity to escape.
On the noisy, sun-drenched island, Giacomo reconnects with long-lost friends and overbearing relatives, relives the childhood he once couldn''''t wait to leave behind, and rediscovers new joie-de-vivre within him. Never mind that he''''s making no progress on his translation. . .
When the time comes to leave once more, Giacomo wonders: has he fallen back in love with his home-island? Or has he been hiding from something which he needs the courage to return and confront?
But most importantly - is his grandma really as ill as she''''s claiming to be?
