Publisher's Synopsis
This is a novel about the outbursts of life and the light that emerges from the darkest places. Adriana is like a wind, she always breaks into her sister's life with the force of a revelation. They were rebellious girls and accomplices, daughters of no mother. Now they are women loaded with impulses and errors, with disappointments and possibilities, with an inheritance of unspoken words and intermittent attentions. They live two great loves, sacred and somewhat tortuous, irreparable as are sometimes the loves born in youth. But for those who do not know the language of affection, it is very difficult for them to open their hearts. With the wisdom and nature of the great writers, Donatella Di Pietrantonio writes in these pages a warm and whispered emotion, which will remain with us for a long time.
