This book is not a catalog of attractions. Rather, it aims to be a roadmap to a love story: how else to describe a place that charms you, challenges you, holds back then suddenly overwhelms you with beauty? It's part practical companion, part love poem. I hope you will find it full of hidden paths, caper sowing secrets, hidden coves only fishermen know about and metaphors of stubborn plants that bloom out of lava. Pantelleria is not for everyone, but if you feel at home here, you may never quite feel at home anywhere else again.
