A PUBLISHERS WEEKLY MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2024 FROM THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD-LONGLISTED AUTHOR OF THE MOST SECRET MEMORY OF MEN A polyphonic tale of immigration and community by the most promising Senegalese writer of his generation (Le Monde) and winner of the 2021 Prix Goncourt Seventy-two men arrive in the middle of the Sicilian countryside. They are immigrants, refugees or migrants. But in Altino, they're called the ragazzi, the guys that the Santa Marta Association have taken responsibility for. In this small Sicilian town, their arrival changes life for everybody. While they wait to know their fate, the ragazzi encounter all kinds of people: a strange vicar who rewrites their pasts, a woman committed to ensuring them asylum, a man determined to fight against it, an older ragazzo who has become an interpreter, and a reclusive poet who no longer writes. Each character in this moving and important saga is forced to reflect on what it means to encounter people they know nothing about. They watch as a situation unfolds over which they have little control or insight. A story told through a growing symphony of voices that ends only when one final voice brings silence to the choir.
