Episode 3
Concetta has discovered that she is pregnant, but as she doesn't remember what happened before the earthquake, she has no idea who the father is.
15-year-old Concetta Salierno has discovered that she is pregnant, but as she doesn't remember what happened in the days before the earthquake, she has no idea who the father is.
Her father has called in an old debt of honour from a neighbouring family and she will shortly be married to Felice Totila, who she scarcely knows. Ashamed and confused, she is wary of showing her face in the village. She is also fearful of meeting Signora Clara, who apparently saw her late at night by the cemetery gate in the days before the earthquake.
Sian Thomas reads this atmospheric mystery by Maria Allen.
Abridged and produced by Jane Marshall Productions for 大象传媒 Radio 4.
