«Battement d'ailes» is the contemporary novel by Milena Agus, published by Liana Levi in paperback (153 pages, in French).
Set in Sardinia, it tells the story of Madame, a singular woman who lives in a house on the hill facing the sea and resists the advance of tourism. With hand-sewn dresses and a rejection of money, she does not fit into her surroundings; only her young fourteen-year-old friend, her mocking grandfather, and the trumpeter son of some neighbors seem to understand her.
Work originally published in Italian as «Ali di mio padre»; this French edition, translated by Dominique Vittoz, was published in 2009.
A read for those who enjoy contemporary fiction with a Mediterranean setting and peculiar female characters.
Milena Agus is an Italian author from Sardinia. She is one of the leading novelists in the so-called Sardinian Literary Spring which began in the 1980s and which includes other international names such as Michela Murgia.
