The House Of Others by Silvio d'Arzo
Set in a remote, desolate village, the story revolves around the life of a solitary old woman named Zelinda, who ekes out a living by tending to her goats. Her monotonous existence is disrupted by the arrival of a young priest, who becomes intrigued by her mysterious past and the burden she seems to carry. Through their conversations, themes of isolation, existential despair, and the search for meaning in a harsh, unforgiving world are explored. The narrative delves into the complexities of human connection and the profound impact of unspoken secrets and unfulfilled desires.
