Where she has gone : a novel
Ricci, Nino
Where she has gone : a novel / Nino Ricci - Toronto : McClelland & Stewart , c1997 - 322 p. ; 23 cm.
Sequel to: In a glass house Third book in a trilogy.
Upon returning to Toronto after teaching in Africa, Vittorio Innocente reconnects with his half-sister Rita, who is in her first year of college. Rita's mother died in childbirth aboard a ship for Canada, and Rita, resented by Vittorio's father, grew up in a foster home. Vittorio, big brother and surrogate father, also finds himself attracted to Rita, creating tensions in their relationship; when she leaves for Europe with John, a man old enough to be her father, Vittorio follows to meet her in the Italian village where he lived with his mother. This third volume of a trilogy that began with The Book of Saints, can be read alone, as the events of the previous books are smoothly integrated into the narrative, but it is far more powerful as a concluding volume.
