«Je vous écris d'Italie...» is the novel by Michel Déon, published by Gallimard in paperback (324 pages, in French).
In 1949, historian Jacques Sauvage, a former combatant, returns to Umbria to revisit Varela. He wants to solve the mystery of his Italian campaign and reunite with the contessina Beatrice, who hosted him. Upon arrival, he discovers a fortified village with unchanging customs, whose secret lies hidden in a pagan festival everyone is preparing.
The work received the Prix Maison de la Presse in 1984.
Set in rural postwar Italy, it will appeal to those seeking a novel of historical atmosphere, memory, and mystery in the French narrative tradition.
