On some other occasion I have already spoken of unspeakable loves, specifically for the Review of The Book of Parables, Olov Enquist. In this case we also find large doses of forbidden love taken to the extreme of the moral and the natural, as we are generally given to understand.

Vito and Giuseppina are brothers. They like each other. They have shared their childhood but now they are in that moment of transition from childhood to maturity and continue to profess a love that is practically unspeakable, since it has reached beyond those limits of the prohibited and the immoral.

El book Your rotation in time It presents us with the difficult crossroads of how far love can reach us, crossing that strange (and not always confessable) threshold of desire.

For the greater surprise of a singular reading, we are in Sicily in the middle of World War II. Thus, the plot manages to move through unpredictable territories between violence and love impossible in the eyes of others.

Surviving oneself to the war and surviving at the same time the love shared with someone as close as a brother is an arduous mission between misunderstanding, the horror of war, fear, fascism and the general delirium of a Europe intoxicated by the hate.

But contrary to what might be expected, furtive love grows stronger, it feeds on secrecy and hidden kisses, intimate caresses in the shadows and complicit smiles.

What Vito and Giuseppina live is an odyssey of love in a scene punctuated by the tragedy of war and misery. A unique adventure for the senses and understanding of the reader.
