Words, Language & Grammar

Giovanni Astengo, a middle-aged functionary, works at the Italian State Archives, where he catalogues diaries written by an array of ordinary and extraordinary people. Deeply scarred by the sudden disappearance of his father when he was a child, Giovanni is devoted to his wife and son but suffers another emotional blow when he learns his newborn daughter has Down Syndrome. Over the years, Stella's disability reverberates through the family in much the same way as his father's disappearance years before.  Early one August morning when the rest of the family is on vacation, Giovanni follows an impetus to return to his family's country house, the place of his lost happiness, long since abandoned. He goes inside and spots an old black rotary telephone which, astonishingly, has dial tone. On a whim, he dials the phone number of his childhood home and is amazed to hear his own 13-year-old voice respond. So begins a Twilight Zone-type sequence of events that culminates with stunning answers to the questions that have haunted Giovanni throughout his adult life.

About this book: For five centuries, the château of Chambord has been an emblem of the epic scope and tumultuousness of French history. This chatty, eminently readable history of the château traces the high points and low ebbs of a magnificent monument, beginning with the coup de foudre experienced by François 1er when he first hunted in the forest there as a teenager. Three years into his reign as king, François experienced the first failure of his life when Charles V was named Holy Roman emperor. To compensate, he decided to raze the old hunting lodge at Chambord and build a château grander than any other in Europe. For the next three centuries, Chambord welcomed some of France's most eminent figures. After the Revolution, the château fell into disrepair, but its surrounding forest remained a popular hunting ground. After World War II, it underwent a major restoration and today is one of the principal tourist attractions in France.
