"...Nina is also a passionate reader, and in her spare time she attends the university library of the town where she moved. A small twist of fate, and here it is, an unexpected possibility, to collaborate with the charismatic professor who directs the Slavic Institute. But what future is offered [her]? Starting again, staying, recovering a relationship with her daughter, clarifying her relationship with Professor Giulio De Felice, thinking first of others or of herself? Important alternatives in a minimal existence like that of all of us, choices that can cost all that it has to give: happiness, sense of self, love of others, love for itself. With a fairly Czech step, Corsalini stages an exemplary story, a private theater made up of silent passions, courage without witnesses, stoicism and the unpretentious dignity of the men and especially of the women who run the world every day"--Translation from LibroCo.italia website.
