This novel, nominated for prestige Italian Premio Strega Award talks about a semi-unknown father and his daughter who wants discover his past. A young woman, lonely and in love with literature, writes the chronicle of her fight with her father’s death: the two had shared a happy relationship during her happy childhood, a hard one during her teenage years. But now that the man is dead too many questions lay unanswered: who was the young doctor-worker who always sided with the poor, who always had someone to save, who was sentenced to jail for taking part in an armed band in 1970s Turin? And why did he never want to tell his daughter about those years? Lawyers, old far-left-winged militants, archives and trial accounts are voices that slowly make up the portrait of a complex and contradictory man, a witness and a protagonist of a complex and contradictory time. In the background of the narrative lays Turin, city of rage, pain and hope, at the same time a background to violence that generated only deception and ruins. This is a novel about a man, his families, and his choices, retold with love and rage.
