About the book: 2019 / Husband, wife, two children... An ordinary family. As often happens, behind a prosperous facade lies a mutual misunderstanding, which gradually develops into irritation and anger - spouses against each other, children against their parents. Is it possible to glue a once broken life back together, like a broken vase? And most importantly, is it worth it? Domenico Starnone's novel consists of three parts, in each of which the author alternately gives a voice to all participants in the family drama - wife, husband and children - allowing the reader to listen to the appropriate version of events and draw his own conclusion about why life these people turned into a personal disaster.
