Product Description
From Amazon
Ricci handles this incestuous relationship amazingly well, making it both believable and entirely sympathetic. Where She Has Gone does slow a little when Rita removes herself from the action, leaving Victor alone with his obsessions, but it never entirely loses its momentum. Those who are really interested in Ricci's work should begin with The Lives of the Saints, but Where She Has Gone is a compelling, sensuous novel, well worth reading in its own right. --Jack Illingworth

insightful.....................,
By likwit_hype (TO reppin........) - See all my reviews the bizarre fascination with his sister, and longing for a relation with her was ill mannered/nasty , but yet i still continued to finish the novel. the only tick i had about this novel was the ending. it seemed to much of an easy way out, and nino ricci should have thought of sumthing drastic happening to Victor?Vittorio

Melancholy beauty,
By
This review is from: Where she has gone (Hardcover)
The atmosphere Ricci creates in WHERE SHE HAS GONE is enveloped in sorrow. As the story of Victor and Rita unfolds, the deep melancholy grows.Victor and Rita are half-siblings; Rita the product of their mother's affair in her small Italian town while her husband (Victor's father) was in Canada setting the foundation for a new life for his family Over the course of the first two books in the trilogy, their mother dies after giving birth to Rita on the ocean liner bringing them to Canada, and Victor and Rita are raised together for a few years on his father's farm, until Rita is adopted by a nearby couple. The siblings grow up and grow apart, until the opening of WHERE SHE HAS GONE, where they meet again in Toronto-Victor as a grad student/writer and Rita just starting university. The relationship they develop as adults is complicated and sad, but compelling. Ricci's language is distilled to a very simple, effective style, that suits the mood he creates beautifully. All three books in the trilogy are highly recommended, but it's not necessary to have read the first two to be moved by the last (though I'm sure after reading WHERE SHE HAS GONE you'll want to).

Good Fiction,
By A Customer
This review is from: Where she has gone (Hardcover)
This is a good fictional story, well written but I like his earlier work 'Lives of the Saints' much better, from story development and plot prspectives.
