Summary

The time of youth coincides, in this dazzling novel, with the discovery of oneself and the world, of love and betrayal, of politics and of the female voices of writing which, like amulets, guide and inspire the choices of the protagonist. A pugnacious and moving young woman, her narrative voice is caught between the grip of Elvira's maternal love and the uncertainty of her relationship with Eugenio. And the other characters who move in a vivid and recognizable Rome are also unforgettable, between Sapienza University, the streets of the center and Gamelino, the meeting place of the group: Fausto and Beniamino, Olga and the mysterious Dirce, behind which there is a secret of which all, except the protagonist, are the faithful guardians.--Translated from description on Libraccio.it.
