Sometimes you find a book which you just can't stop reading... With this novel, Tamaro confirms her role as one of Italy's most loved writers...this book is eloquent in its simplicity, at once enjoyable and heartbreaking

What's On

<i>Answer Me</i> demands engagement...entertainingly grotesque

Times Literary Supplement

It's easy to see why Tamaro's bleakly atmospheric tales of life by the auto-strada, and her portentous pronouncements on love, life and Catholicism became such a runaway bestseller
