It Never Rains in Tor Bella Monaca

Mauro Borri is about to learn how easy it is to be bad.

Ever since Mauro’s girlfriend Samantha left him for a doctor, his life has gone to shit. In Tor Bella Monaca, his life feels like a mirage and the future looms before him, bleak and oppressive. When a defaulting tenant puts the Borri family in debt, Mauro must turn to unconventional ways to support his family. His friends, Fabio and Domenico, have stumbled upon the shady dealings of a Chinese man named Yun, and Mauro doesn’t hesitate to join them in plotting a heist destined to change their lives. Unlike his brother Romulus, who has spent time in prison, Mauro is no criminal…but he is a quick learner. While the Borri family – grappling with the hardships and paradoxes of modern-day Italy – fights to stay afloat, a cruel twist of fate prepares to play yet another trick on Mauro and his friends.

A novel that expresses compassion for a harsh and degraded world full of anger and life.
