Roberto never really got over the crush he had on Alessandra in school and when, years later, they meet again and fall in love, tragedy strikes and all seems lost. After a long separation Roberto finally reconnects with Alex and has a chance to win her back, but a dark secret from his past threatens to come back to haunt him. With the police, who have taken a belated interest in events of the past, and Roberto's romantic relation with Alex's roommate, which complicates everything, will he be able to keep his life from taking another bad turn?
This coming-of-age novel is set in postwar Europe, with social realism that will transport you back to the 1970's. That was a time when young people had a devil-may-care attitude and faced the same problems youth of the current generation does - sex, drugs, and same sex set-up.
An Italian Obsession edition by Kfir Luzzatto Literature Fiction eBooks
I have read quite a few books by Kfir Luzzatto and never once have I been disappointed. This novel happens to be set in the 1970′s in Italy. I happen to be one that loves time dated readings. Historical fiction or non-fiction, I am really not picky. I just like historical time pieces in general that take me somewhere that I could never go before. As I was reading I would imagine everything that the author was describing to me and just take myself there. It was really a unique experience and kind of a challenged my mind to take me somewhere that I have never been just based on the author’s writing and description. By the way, the descriptions were amazing, so it was easy.This book is centered around a man named Roberto that is growing up and struggling to find his real self. This is a very political time and there are lots of sex, drugs and crime around. It seems to be everyone’s obsession of the time. Roberto is a young character and I felt for him having to be exposed to all of this at such an age. His parents weren’t really there like they needed to be in order to shelter him from things. This book had great emotional moments were you felt for Roberto, but then there were times that you just wanted to grab him by the ear and tell him that what he was doing was not the right choice. All of the characters in this book are written in a way that you find some sort of attachment to them whether it be good or bad. Everything going on was easily understandable and well put together by the author as to not be overbearing with description.
The book was not all about turmoil and obsessing over things that shouldn’t be. There was also love. Roberto and Alessandra fall in love and you are thinking that everything is going to be just peachy because the rest of the book has so much going on, but no. Roberto is facing being accused of a crime and their love will be put to the test when he is sent away. You will be pulling for them the whole time that you read everything that their love is put through. You will be wanting to turn the pages constantly with this one to see where it will take you. I need more Kfir Luzzatto! He never fails to make me think, wonder and feel. On to the next!

An Italian Obsession edition by Kfir Luzzatto Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
First and foremost "An Italian Obsession" is a love story of the unattainable. Taking a young boy from his first vision of a pretty girl to his last, longing looks at his life's passion, it's the story of one person's obsessive focus on another throughout his tumultuous life.
Kfir Luzzatto is the master of the understated in this novel while he builds his story and engages his audience almost seamlessly. His characters; his primary male character in particular, are developed to a level of adulthood and complexity that makes the book a study in coming of age. Never missing a step from the beginning of the book, we become wrapped up in the protagonist's attempts to solidify his heart's desire, to find his love reciprocated, and to fulfill his life in the form of one beautiful girl. Nearly everything else, including what may have constituted a murder, takes second stage with him.
Luzzatto sets this story in the time frame of post-war Europe, which adds dimension and realism. I found the times and the trends fascinating to read about in the context. Interesting to read about the "devil may care" attitudes of the young adults...different from American kids, but the same in many ways, too.
This is a passionate love story with dimension and depth. Characters who live and breathe, a story that has meaning and humanity. A writer who understands the complexities of the human spirit...
A very good read! It's obvious this novel is from a writer who has a wide range of experience to draw from.
Disclosure I received this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are 100% my own and may differ from yours.
I never really thought I would enjoy a book that was based and written as if it was in the 1970's, however reading this book, really changed my mind on that. I enjoyed that this book was written as if in the 1970's. It took me to a place that was new to me and imagining everything in my mind from that time was a unique experience. This book takes place in Italy which was another unique experience for me being Italian and having family members that are from Italy.
This book tells the story of Roberto, a man growing up and struggling to find himself during a time of politicial upheaval where drugs and crime and sex are everyone's obsession. We get to follow him through his ups and downs. There were times through this book when Roberto was still young that I just wanted to grab and nurture him because of his parents and the way they treated him and ignored him. Then there were times I just wanted to smack Roberto for his thoughts and actions. The characters are very well written and you very easily attach yourselves to them and feel for them and what they are going through. The description in this book was amazing. It was to the point without being over written and you could imagine everything easily.
The love in this book was very nice also. Roberto and Alessandra fall in love, however when Roberto is accused of crime, their love is then put to the test as he has to go away due to his crime. His love for Alessandra never faulted even though there were times when it looked like they never were going to get back together. This book had me rooting for their love and for them the entire book.
This book was a nice thrill that had you on your seat turning the pages to see what was gonna happen or be said next. It's a book that even as you read the last page left you wanting more. This was my first book written by this author and I was not disappointed. I will also be checking out more books from this author. This book receives a 5/5 from me!
