Elena and Anita are mother and daughter. They have always lived alone, even before the child was born. The man who was supposed to be Anita's father disappeared on a windy day. So how did Anita, now six years old, manage to portray him in a drawing with such precision? Don Roberto is a street priest. Every day, he travels across the Bassa in his battered van, bringing help wherever it is needed. He has dedicated his life to others without asking anything for himself. So why can't he forgive himself? Elena, Anita, and Roberto are pieces of a puzzle that the reader is called to reconstruct. Like all of Camilla Costanzo's characters, they resemble us. They share our weaknesses, suffer from our neuroses, and tell the same lies we do. In this captivating novel composed of stories, the author compels us to observe them closely, taking the time to get to know them. Through skilled narration, she explores their existential turning points – from motherhood to grief, from the birth of love to betrayal – until we find ourselves mirrored in their complex humanity.
