Arcipelago familiare
by Platania, Federico
When Jai Fittipaldi, an Italian-Indian chef, opens his first restaurant in London, he knows his father will not attend the inauguration. Daniele Fittipaldi has been missing for several months. “Missing,” however, is not quite the right word. Everyone knows where he is: in a remote shelter on the Kerguelen Islands, in the French Southern and Antarctic Lands, where many years earlier Daniele had coordinated a lighthouse project. Reaching him is, therefore, extremely complicated.
As for Jai’s mother, Aparajita, she is distant in her own way, lost in New Age philosophies and radical environmentalism that have caused her to lose her job. It falls to Jai to reconnect the islands of his family archipelago. Arcipelago familiare is a novel that explores parent-child relationships, where children pay for their parents’ ambitions and everyone seeks a safe course among secrets and reconciliations.
