An introspective novel that draws on personal memory and family history to sketch fragments of Italian society. The protagonist’s psyche and past events intertwine in a narrative where reality and fantasy blur, probing loneliness, desire, and the relationship between self and history.

The figure of family hidden in memory begins to stir quietly.
