Through Fire, Walter leaves behind a provincial adolescence in Trieste for the chaos of life as a struggling writer in Rome. Through Earth, he struggles with alcoholism, estrangement from his family, and the perfidious nature of "friends" on the make. Through Wind, he finds himself searching for a long-lost companion and the certainty he once knew. Tamaro does not shy away from big scenes or meaningful conclusions, as she leads her hero to a lonely convent in the mountains of Slovenia and an encounter with a dying sister who will change her hero's life forever.
