“I spent years being let down by everyone because not everyone was my dad. Anna, the heroine of Violette d'Urso's first novel, was still a child when her father died suddenly. She fills her absence with a few heterogeneous objects, with stories that have been told to her and with her powerful imagination. As a young woman, she understands that she does not know what to do with this “uprooted suffering”. This pain reveals itself to her through the body: without knowing it, “I had begun the destruction of my vitality at just six years old. From a repertoire that belonged to her, she surveys the cities of Italy, where her father was from, and goes back step by step the history of her family. It is to meet this man that she must go. And it's a real novel character that awaits him…” — Violette d’Urso
