Publisher's Synopsis
Oscillating between disappointment and insecurity, between disenchantment and despair, Ileana struggles to hold on to the idea of seeing her seriously ill mother again, who has left her in the care of her aunts. But her fear grips her, her dreams return pieces of a lost past, and her reflection has disappeared from all the mirrors. Valentina Scerbani's narrative mastery manages to establish an obsessive atmosphere, accentuated by the imposing presence of the landscape, by the unrepentant rain and by human relationships in a small community made up exclusively of women.
