À propos de cet audio
From "one of the most significant figures of the last generation of fantasy" comes Francesco Dimitri's debut novel in English, an enthralling and seductive fantasy following four old friends and the secrets they keep.
Four friends have a pact: to meet up on the same day every year in their small hometown in southern Italy. Art, the charismatic leader of the group, has always been adamant about the pact. But this year, he doesn't show up. Searching for him, the friends make a worrying discovery: Art has been farming marijuana, a very dangerous activity in mafia-controlled country. Asking around in town, they hear bizarre and incredible rumours that Art cured a young girl of leukemia. And then, amongst the chaos of his house, they find a curious manuscript written by Art called The Book of Hidden Things, which promises to reveal secrets enchanting as flames, and just as treacherous....
©2018 Francesco Dimitri (P)2020 W. F. Howes LtdCe que les critiques en disent
"An affecting fable of friendship, magic and nostalgia." (The Guardian)
"In lesser hands, this blend of detective story, organized crime thriller, and supernatural investigation would feel like a grab bag of plot devices, but Dimitri has created a thrilling spectacle that also manages to point poignantly at the way the landscapes we grow up in shape us in ways even beyond our understanding. A deeply felt look at the idea of home, clothed as a popcornworthy page-turner." (Kirkus Reviews)
"An evocative meditation on friendship, adulthood, and the liminal spaces that lie just outside human perception [...] Dimitri's beautifully written tale, steeped in nostalgia, folklore, and religion, will enthrall and terrify readers." (Publishers Weekly)

The author's obsession with nipples.
I understand that Fabio cheating with Anna was supposed to be what made him a poor, dishonest man, but honestly none of these guys were really all that upstanding to begin with and his gratuitous obsession with her body was uncomfortable to listen to.
It would be a character study in being a dishonest man and an example of gray morality in a protagonist (not every protagonist needs to be a good person!) if the author had written it that way, but that isn't how it comes across. It comes across as if the author himself had nothing more to say about it except about how awesome boobs are, unfortunately.
The reading was lovely, Andrew Wincott is a gem. Baldur's Gate 3 fans: I'd recommend a different audiobook first, but to each their own.
