Yet another typical display of contemporary Italian literature:
- Sappy love story. Check
- Pure good-hearted main character. Check
- Loss leading to shallow pseudo-philosophical approach to life. Check
This one also has the added bonus of taking place against the backdrop of one of the most significant voyages of discovery in history (perhaps the most significant?) and - lo and behold! - attempts to give a voice to the voiceless and tells the story from the viewpoint of the most junior member of the crew.
All in all, really rather pathetic.
