レビュー
-
good, not great
the book was new, but there was a little pen mark on the side and the pages were cut irregularly like if not everything went as it was supposed to be in production. no problem to read though and I paid about nothing for it

Quite simply my favourite book. Ever.
The Force of the Past is an absolute gem. There's no two ways about it - Veronesi's prose is exquisite. If you like Italian fiction, this is as good as it gets. Sandro Veronesi is now one of my favourite authors and I can't wait to .
