«Il segreto di Ortelia» is the novel by Andrea Vitali, published by Mondolibri under licence from Garzanti Milano in paperback (162 pages, in Italian).
Amleto Selva, an ambitious young man, arrives in a village in 1919 following a cattle dealer and ends up marrying Cirene, heiress to a butcher's shop. From there, the novel blends family secrets, a long-running commercial rivalry with another shop and the protagonist's passions, with a comic tone and a hint of bitterness.
Published in 2007.
Will appeal to readers of Italian fiction who enjoy village stories, family secrets and humour with a bittersweet edge.
