Publisher's Summary
Marco Carrera is 'the hummingbird', a man with the almost supernatural ability to stay still as the world around him continues to change.
As he navigates the challenges of life - confronting the death of his sister and the absence of his brother; taking care of his parents; raising his granddaughter; coming to terms with his love for the enigmatic Luisa - Marco Carrera comes to represent the quiet heroism that pervades so much of our everyday existence.
A surprising and deeply moving reinvention of the family saga, this is a thrilling novel about the need to look to the future with hope and live with intensity to the very end.
Critic Reviews
"With The Hummingbird, Sandro Veronesi has re-written the family saga. Ardent, gripping and inventive to the core, it has already been hailed a classic." (Jhumpa Lahiri)
"Extraordinary." (Domenico Starnone, National Book Award Finalist author of Ties and Trick)
"Masterly: a cabinet of curiosities and delights, packed with small wonders." (Ian Mcewan)
"A spellbinding experience: clever, funny and deeply moving." (Roddy Doyle)
