English Summary/英文概要： Franco Faggiani reconstructs with extraordinary attention to detail an unusual profession that many still remember.
The novel retraces the secret itineraries of the hair collectors of the Piedmontese valleys, who,
following the paths of this unique trade, climbed over the Alps and reached as far as France. A compelling and very moving story that confirms the author’s great talent in describing mountain environments in an enticing manner.1915. Giacomo Cordero lives in Val Maira, Piedmont, with his grandfather Girolamo, his mother Lunetta and the elderly and reserved Desideria. The boy has studied but is forced to stay at home, in Prazzo, where people mainly work as lumberjacks or small farmers, and often live in small mountain huts in conditions of absolute misery. Italy has just entered the war and the elderly Girolamo, the family’s gruff breadwinner, a shrewd and capable merchant, has become the official supplier of goods for the army. Giacomo, exempted from military service, is therefore entrusted with the most delicate part of the family business, the collecting of hair which will be carefully worked during the winter by the local women, and then resold in the spring to the ateliers of the big cities across the border to make wigs, still in great demand. For the hair trade in France, Giacomo relies on an expert salesman, Natale Rebaudi, who will guide him by confiding old secrets about his father. When the boy is forced to face an unexpected situation and take over the family business, the greatest lesson will come to him from the memory of the days spent alone in the mountains, which will help him appreciate the value of the little things and the simplicity of daily life.
