Le soleil des Scorta
Le soleil des Scorta | Laurent Gaude
1 post | 4 read | 2 to read
Sous le soleil écrasant du Sud italien, le sang des Scorta transmet, de père en fils, l'orgueil indomptable, la démence et la rage de vivre de ceux qui, seuls, défient un destin retors.

House of Scorta | Laurent Gaude
Mehso-so

Fictional generational tale but not as good as Marquez‘s Hundred Years of Solitude. Gaudé fails to develop characters long enough for the reader to care. There is some continuity in having the sister pop up from time to time to tie things together, but really the most interesting chapter is the last one where there is a solid reflection on the meaning of life. But you have to go through many characters to get there. It‘s a good short read.
