Overview: A propulsive Strega Prize nominated debut about a community consumed in their search for a missing teacher
One morning, a teacher disappears into the woods. As whispers fill her classroom and relatives scour the streets, she melts into a wild landscape – a darkly entrancing place where boars roam free, silver birches tower overhead and the air is filled with ancient bird calls. Sinking into a bed of moss, she tries to escape the shocking news of a pupil’s death.
Back in town, behind shuttered windows and on factory floors, the mystery takes hold. Who is Silvia really? A teacher of rare kindness, living outside of other people’s expectations, or a solitary misfit without a family to call her own? When a local child stumbles upon her hiding place, it seems like the search might be over. But what happens when the missing do not want to be found?
Lushly written and told with a mesmerising intensity, Untold Lessons is a suspense-filled debut about what it means to return to ourselves by an exhilarating new international talent.
