In the hottest summer of the century, amidst four isolated houses in a wheat field, six children venture out on bicycles into the abandoned countryside. In that sea of wheat, a terrifying secret is hidden that will change the life of one of them forever. Nine-year-old Michele Amitrano faces a secret so big that he cannot tell it, finding strength in his childhood fantasies. The story, set in 1978 in southern Italy, alternates comedy, children's relationships, and the drama of personal discovery.
Niccolò Ammaniti is an Italian writer, winner of the Premio Strega in 2007 for As God Commands. He became noted in 2001 with the publication of I'm Not Scared, a novel which was later made into a movie directed by Gabriele Salvatores.
