A boy fishes, wanders the countryside and watches a community form, with its joys, scandals and shared understandings. Interspersed are the 'grotesques' - indelible and terrible events that sit alongside the better future they all seek.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn The Immigrants, Moreno Giovannoni depicts a family as they build a new life in a strange land. Through love and exile, industry and tragedy, their unspoken dreams and fears unfold in this astonishing and moving book.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPraise for The Fireflies of Autumn:\n\u003cbr\u003e\n'I can't remember ever reading anything quite like it.
