Il fondo del sacco by Plinio MartiniMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I was looking forward to reading more about life in Valle Maggia, despite being a bit let down by his other book (Requiem per zia Domenica). This surpassed all expectations. Not only did it discuss, and really convey, life in the valley at the beginning of the last century, but it also talked about the Ticinese exodus to the US, which was very interesting, and it was all wrapped together in a nice story (the line "sei tornato lo stesso" was very poignant).
Martini is known as one of the top Ticino authors of all time, and I didn't really see why after his last book, but this one convinced me. I see he has some other books, as well as a diary, that have been published, and I look forward to reading them as well.
