Agostino by Alberto MoraviaMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
A decent novel, but not much more. I admit I expected more from it.
It is the coming of age summer for a 13 year old on the beach in Tuscany. But this coming of age involves mainly sexual undertones, and odd ones at that (verging on oedipal and verging on pedophilia).
The backdrop reminded me very much of my summers in Versilia. Local kids hanging around the beach with nothing to do, etc.
