Finally got to write about the book that broke me and kept me going in lockdown... Thanks to @GlobalLitin and @fromtheitalian for doing all the hard work of putting #italianlitmonth together!

"we feel the ocean and earth, the power of plants and animals, the majesty of Eritrea; we feel the thrum of the vibrant cities of Massawa and Asmara. Time passes, stories risk fading, but the translation of this book saves a portion of history that deserves to be shared."
