translation of an excerpt from a novel
Si sistemò meglio sul sedile, alzò il collo del dolcevita sin sopra le labbra – potendone sentire il profumo di muschio –, spostò lo sguardo fuori dal finestrino e si rinchiuse nei suoi
ricordi.
Distese di campi coltivati e muri a secco scorrevano davanti ai suoi occhi, mentre l’acqua scendeva copiosamente e il battistrada appena consumato della seminuova monovolume agguantava l’asfalto, guadagnando velocemente terreno.
my guess...the slightly-worn tyre tread of the nearly-new minivan gripped onto the asphalt, quickly picking up speed.
