Nocturne by Lisa St. Aubin De Teran

In the years before the second World War, in early June, as regular as the festa of the Madonna del Campo, the ox-drawn convoy of Maestro Rossi's travelling fair moves into the Umbrian village of San Severino. ... One year Alessandro Mezzanotte leaves his toil in the neighbouring fields to see for himself the sights of the fair. Pulled by the plaited thread of destiny and love, he returns the next evening and encounters fourteen-year-old Valentina with her thick black hair and smell of burnt apples and spun sugar. And so begins a fateful love that will become an obsession and a odyssey.
