More about the book
Every Summer Teresa follows her father to his childhood home in Puglia, a land of relentless, shimmering heat and centuries-old olive groves. Everything changes the summer she meets the three boys who live on the farm next door: Nicola, Tommaso, and Bern-the man Teresa will love for the rest of her life. Raised like brothers, the three boys share a complex and seemingly unassailable bond. But there is resentment underneath the surface of that strange brotherhood, and when Bern commits a brutal act of revenge, not even a final pilgrimage to the edge of the world will be enough to bring back the golden hours of their youth. An unforgettable story of enduring love, the bonds between men, and the all-too-human search for meaning, Heaven and Earth is a big sprawling novel in which to lose oneself. - Back Cover
