He meets Lena - brilliant, American, powerful, a woman at the center of her family relationships. Their marriage carries Alfredo from the Upper West Side to the Berkshires, from Sicily to London, through concerts, meals, friendships, rivalries, and the intimate politics of family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFefè is a novel of travel and return: Sicily with its heat and memory, London with its fog and traditions, the Upper West Side with its liberal ideas and rituals, and the Berkshires with its summer festivals. It is also a sensual novel - of meals remembered, shared, and withheld. Food becomes language. Music becomes memory.

Over the years that follow, his marriage, his daughter, his past, and even Sicily itself begin to change shape. What once felt like inheritance becomes mystery. What once felt secure begins to recede.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFefè is the story of a man who has commanded the room his entire life and must finally ask what it has cost him.
