About this title: Inspired by Carlo Levi's powerful book CHRIST STOPPED AT EBOLI, about his days in the Italian province of Basilicata as a political prisoner in the '30s, David Yeadon moved to Levi's village of Aliano to write about the changes in the place. There Yeadon has an entirely different experience: his year in the mountainous and rugged Italian countryside is an idyllic one, full of friends and food and festivals. But he and his wife do find that the world Levy wrote about, with its pagan throwbacks and strange local customs, has not entirely disappeared.

"My Grandfather is from Basilicata which I recently visited...but not the Basilicata Yeadon describes. I had always pictured the place where Tomaso Marchese was born (Bella near Potenza) as a goat track and a few stone buildings, but Bella was a lovely hill town in the midst of verdant farmland, well as verdant as this province provides. The real Basilicata is a landscape craggy outcroppings and unforgiving weather with a population only a Carlo Levi in words or a Rosi in film could adequately describe.
The book has filled me with longing to go back and see Agliano and Matera and a hundred other places which transcend any description of what being "Italian" sets forth. Yeadon was so fortunate in his profession to spend four seasons there (although he cheated by leaving for Yorkshire in the inferno of the summer), and the reader's senses are bombarded by his vivid descriptions of food and music and landscapes. It's a beauty of a travel book, truly unique."
