Carlo, a part-time professor of creative writing, and Margherita,
an architect-turned-real estate-agent: a happily married couple in
their mid-thirties, perfectly attuned to each other's restlessness.
They are in love, but they also harbour desires that stray beyond
the confines of their bedroom: Carlo longs for the quiet beauty of
one of his students, Sofia; Margherita fantasises about the strong
hands of her physiotherapist, Andrea. But it is love, with its
unassuming power, which ultimately pulls them from the brink, aided
by Margherita's mother Anna, the couple's anchor and lighthouse - a
wise, proud seamstress hiding her own disappointments. But after
eight years of repressed desires and the birth of a son, when the
past resurfaces in the form of books sent anonymously, will love be
enough to save them? A no. 1 international bestseller Winner of the
Premio Strega Giovani Shortlisted for the Premio Strega 'Powerful,
delicate, exquisite' Claudio Magris 'Masterful... The ending is

confines' La Stampa 'With all-encompassing writing, Marco Missiroli
opens the rooms of his characters and the streets of Milan, the
thoughts and the concealed desires, makes dialogue and silences
reverberate with the spontaneity of great narrators' Il Foglio
