of a book you should read the inside pages to assess it, but I would start this time talking about the cover Vincent Bosica introducing fine atmosphere of the novel.
Those three characters of the past, photographed along the route of a village, you notice with its towers in the background, the military part of the trio and, higher up, as if to emerge from the heaven , pictures of faces of a police sergeant and a woman dreaming are the best front door that could be done for an event that, at first sight, may seem obvious, but then, evolving from page to page, binds the forcing player, of course, happy to live in a bygone era and in a small world, populated by little big men.
Bernava managed to recreate the atmosphere of a village in Abruzzo in the period from the 30s at the end of World War II, a closed reality only in appearance, because in the restricted flowering characters ideas and perhaps more than in a big city.
got all the solidarity of the poor, the dignity of those who appear to be defeated by life, but instead were able to understand its true meaning, all told with little stories that you chain floor plan , creating a choral fresco of rare and also very effective pleasant.
Yes, the main character is Sergeant Modiano, the local station of the Royal Carabinieri, but around the figures come to life only seems minor, each with a clearly defined role that provides you the best.
early novel that may appear unassuming, The color of the coffee ends up being one of those little gems of literature that are true icons not only for the message content, but also for the style, not usual, agile, never redundant, and that also allows the author of the vagaries of poetic prose without the same to be inappropriate and however tedious. In fact, these few parentheses are the reflections of the narrator, providing explanations, summaries of the facts that follow, often subject with a mildly ironic tone that softens certain melancholy that take the blind to read Alfred, the foundling Nenni and Jerome, who was imprisoned long in a mental hospital because they did not speak.
In this novel, then, is the great strength of the book, its ability to reach the heart, to think, to excite, and in this sense is a tribute to the writing, which allows you to print make it known to many, his unique scent, like that of coffee, much like Marshal that Modiano.
pages already there who has made choices, and eventually there will be those who knowingly and will finally make her choice, finding the true meaning of life.
The color of coffee is a novel, yet it seems written by an author already expert, who shuns the easy rhetoric and easy emotion to give us a work of genuine excellence.
The reading is highly recommended.
