FENOMENDEBUTEN SOM HAR FÅTT ITALIEN PÅ FALL!

Den bäst säljande italienska romanen 2023 och 2024, som sålt i över 700 000 exemplar.

Vinnare av de italienska bokhandlarnas pris Premio Bancarella.

Salento, 1934. I junihettan stannar en buss på torget i Lizzanello, en liten by i södra Italien. Carlo Greco kliver av tillsammans med sin hustru Anna. För Carlo är hemkomsten efterlängtad, men för Anna, uppvuxen i norr, innebär flytten en stor omställning.

De traditionstyngda byborna förfäras av hennes självständighet. Hon går inte i kyrkan, älskar att läsa böcker och sköter varken hemmet eller rollen som hustru som förväntat. När hon hör att det lokala postkontoret söker personal trotsar hon ogillande röster och blir Lizzanellos första kvinnliga brevbärare.

I över tjugo år delar Anna ut posten i byn. Hon läser högt för de som inte kan, skriver dolda budskap till älskande par och levererar brev från män vid fronten. Som brevbärare vet Anna mer än de flesta om människornas liv – men hon vet inte allt.

Brevbäraren i Lizzanello är en storslagen familjesaga om familjen Greco och om livet i Lizzanello genom världskrig och framväxande kvinnorörelser. Det är en roman om mod, frihet och tillhörighet men även om två oskiljaktiga bröder, dömda att älska samma kvinna.

What would happen if you finally met your soul mate—but they were married to someone else?In a novel that has become a bestselling phenomenon in Italy, a newcomer to a small town brings with her a gust of modernity, stirring up the passions and secrets of a community on the cusp of change.Salento, Italy, June 1934: A coach stops in the main square of Lizzanello, a tight-knit village where everyone knows each other. A couple gets off: The man, Carlo, a child of the South, is happy to be back home after a long time away; the woman, Anna—his wife—is a stranger from the North. Carlo’s brother is there to meet them, and he and everyone else can’t help but notice that Anna is as beautiful as a Greek statue. But Anna is not like the other wives.
