«Vidas de santos» is the novel by Nino Ricci, published by Seix Barral in 1992 in paperback (197 pages, in Spanish).
Set in a small town, the novel follows Vittorio Innocente, a boy who observes his mother's life while his father works in America. Her relationship with a mysterious blue-eyed stranger stirs rumors and rejection among the neighbors; the story thus becomes a moral fable about the loss of innocence.
It is Nino Ricci's first novel, originally published as Lives of the Saints in 1990, and has received several awards in Canada and Britain. It has also been translated into five languages.
A read for those seeking contemporary fiction with a portrait of rural life and family conflicts.
