Celeste - English Version

Celeste di Bartolomeo Di Monaco - A Novel -

A nest falls from the eaves of a house to the ground. All the baby swallows die except for one, a female perhaps. It’s reared and called Celeste, like the colour of the sky where she’s destined to fly. Little by little the little swallow and the family who look after her form a special, loving relationship, with moments of great intensity and emotion.
