White As Silence, Red As Song

At long last, the Italian bestseller White as Milk, Red as Blood, is available in English as White as Silence, Red as Song. D’Avenia’s International bestseller has been called Italy’s The Fault in Our Stars. White as Silence, Red as Song is not only a coming-of-age story and the narrative of a school year, but it is also a bold novel that, through Leo’s monologue–at times easygoing and full of verve, at times more intimate and anguished–depicts what happens when suffering and shock burst into the world of a teenager, and the world of adults is rendered speechless.
