In the silence of the hills and the snow, as Chiara approaches sixty, she decides to write three intimate letters. The first is to Alisha, her adopted daughter, who is curious about her identity, and the second to her troubled biological daughter Ginevra. The final is written to her husband Davide – with the secret intention that little Elia, who arrived during a time of deep family crisis, will one day read it too.
A profound, compelling, and humorous novel, this book is a hymn to the strength of family bonds and the importance of finding meaning in our lives.
Three letters written from the heart, a secret, and a generational legacy.
What if that unexpected decision was suggested to me while I slept by the same angel who had whispered my name to my mother twenty years earlier? Wasn’t this a surprise intrusion of Shivasankalpa? Had the invisible guide granted me the grace of the Spirit so that I should understand the right path to follow? Does this not perhaps happen many times in our life? To what extent does the destiny we build depend on our ability to listen to these mysterious nocturnal whispers? Is there not a very fine silk thread that links the lives destined to meet each other?
Of course, in the inevitable dark times we might sometimes think this invisible thread is woven by a spider rather than an angel, to prepare us for its fatal trap. But in the end, do you know what I think?
That we must accept our fragility, the fact that we are in any case suspended between light and shadow.
