Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and the Canadian Governor General s Award for FictionSet in a small， golden village nestled in folds of the Italian Apennines， The Book of Saints is a deceptively simple novel of startling power and mythic dimension. Young Vittorio Innocente is the pampered son of Cristina， a women whose husband has left Italy for work in North America. Beneath her placid surface， Cristina yearns to escape the restrictive village; and， one day， Vittorio is startled to find her in the family s stable， her ankle swelling from a snakebite. But what really happened to Cristina that day becomes the center of this tale—a story of passion and superstition beneath pastoral calm， a mother s secret life witnessed by a child. The first novel in a trilogy that follows Vittorio to adulthood， The Book of Saints is Ricci s acclaimed debut.
