Lungu

Enzo escapes army service in Tuscany in 1914 by eating too many olives; a teenage girl in an immigrant quarter of Toronto falls for a mysterious vagrant; a giant rooster named Jupiter rules a farm in Hörgárdalur in north Iceland; and the story ends in Reykjavík in 2089. Across this century-spanning family novel run blunt questions of life and death.
