A forgotten village north of Rome, with few houses and many mosquitoes, is the setting where two tumultuous love stories take place. In the first one, Gloria and Pietro have been inseparable since they were children. Gloria is the daughter of a bank manager, beautiful and confident; Pietro is the son of an unbalanced shepherd, shy and dreamy. Yet, an irresistible attraction binds them together. In the second story, Graziano Billia, a retired playboy, falls in love with Flora Palmieri, a peculiar and solitary professor. Two stormy love stories intersect to reach an unexpected ending. "I'll Take You Away" is a tender yet harsh novel about youth, love, and the loss of innocence, establishing Amaniti as the most popular writer of the new literary generation in Italy.
