The seasons of existence
'The Night when the Animals Talk' is the story of the seasons of existence, childhood affections and great passions. Set in Conflenti, a small town in the Calabrian hinterland, the novel is the story of the seasons of existence. Unlived loves. Destiny that enjoys crossing people's lives. Matteo and Claudia meet in Calabria during a religious festival at the end of August. Their old love story relives against the backdrop of an exciting return to origins. Many years earlier, from that same country, Matteo's grandfather, Alessandro, left for the Second World War. Having reached the front in Africa, Alessandro also lives in the memory of an unlived love. Many years later, in the alleys of Conflenti, the lives of Alessandro, Matteo and Claudia cross again, chasing each other in the days of the party. Loves that blossomed and never blossomed, centuries-old peasant traditions, choices that change us and dreams of different generations intertwine, merge and merge until the moving and poignant ending.
