Teresa spends the entire summer vacation at her grandmother's in Apulia, bored out of her mind and trying to entertain herself by reading detective novels. Everything changes with a chance meeting with three boys living next door. They come from different families but call themselves brothers; their bond seems unbreakable. Over time, they include Teresa in their group. The inseparable friends feel their connection will last a lifetime. But, as life goes, it has its plans. Teenage carefreeness and romantic dreams shatter against harsh reality. Envy, jealousy, and dark secrets of the past stand in the way of their strong friendship. Will the group of four withstand these trials? "And Even the Sky Was Ours" is a new book by Paolo Giordano, the author of the worldwide bestseller "The Solitude of Prime Numbers." The author once again delicately reveals the most hidden corners of the human soul and offers genuine reading pleasure.
