THE SOUL OF FRONTIER

Noescape. It sounds like a desert, but is the place where the family De Boer, in alta val Brenta. A land surrounded by rugged, where houses climb on steep slopes. Are the last years of the nineteenth century and De Boer, working in the fields of tobacco, the precious Nostrano del Brenta, live aware that only the suit and respectful Alliance between men and wild nature there is a chance of survival. Augustus is the breadwinner, a taciturn man, a tireless worker, able to listen to the voice of the Woods and the whistle of the wind. Jole, the eldest daughter, has the same father's wild nature and an unbridled passion for horses. Tobacco revenues are not enough to make a living with dignity. That's why Augustus one day decides to try the journey beyond the Austrian border to smuggle over harvest. A path winding through trails and walkways impassable, threatened by wild beasts, brigands and ambushes from surveillance of financiers. Jole has fifteen years old when his father decides that the time has come to take her with him: someone else should know the way. It won't be long before she is having to make the trip alone. Lined with solemn slowness in a majestic nature, cosy retreat and then, suddenly, insidious trap, Jole seeks to bring safe its precious cargo and to figure out what happened to his father, who three years earlier no longer has returned from a shipping to Austria. "The soul of the border" is a unique, lyrical novel and Gaunt, sharp as a windswept sky. Matthew Righetto describes with beautiful natural sceneries and artistry makes the objective correlative of delicate and strong soul of his splendid protagonist. A western literary writing material with a spotless and almost manages to send us an epic intimate and solemn.
