White as Silence, Red as Song

Hailed as Italy’s The Fault in Our Stars, Alessandro D’Avenia’s debut novel is a compelling and heartfelt coming-of-age story now available in English for the first time. It follows sixteen-year-old Leo, a boy with a talent for words, as he navigates friendship, love, and unexpected challenges after a new teacher inspires him to pursue his dreams. When Leo’s world is turned upside down by hospital visits and emotional growth, his journey explores the profound themes of friendship, suffering, and the innocence of youth.
