The tidal wave of Mikael Niemi

no caption

Florian spends summers in Calabria, the home of his mother. His grandfather plans to rebuild a legendary, dilapidated hostel in his home village, "Between the Two Seas," in which Alexandre Dumas had already arrived. But when he is blackmailed by a man for protection money, he pays a far higher price than is to be measured in bills. The most successful author in Italy, Carmine Abate, who himself grew up between Germany and Calabria, atmospherically captures the heat of summer and the burning sensation of a lifelong dream in his novel.
