Part 1, Chapter 6 Summary

Everand and Heloise live in Montemarmoreo, Italy. They spend their days walking a little, talking about Heloise's childhood, learning a strange language, and opening a bottle of Amarone in the evening. They avoid talking about Lahardane with each other, but there is hope that perhaps in this strange country, they will have another child. They eventually became an ordinary part of the town.

Part 1, Chapter 6 Analysis

This chapter shows how Everand and Heloise have started to settle into their life of exile. They are starting to think that here there is a chance that they might find a kind of peace, perhaps even a little joy. It is also evident that their avoidance of Lahardane leaves no hope of their finding out that their child is not dead.
