A woman goes home to Naples after her motherâs mysterious death in a âtour de forceâ (Seattle Times) by the New York Times bestselling author of My Brilliant Friend.
Following her motherâs untimely and unexplained drowning, which was preceded by a series of strange phone calls, forty-five-year-old Delia leaves Rome and embarks on a voyage of discovery through the beguiling yet often hostile streets of her native Naples. She is searching for the truth about her family and the men in her motherâs life, past and present, including an abusive husband.
What Delia discovers will be more unsettling than she imagines, but will also reveal truths about herself, in this psychological mystery marked by âtactile, beautifully restrained proseâ (Publishers Weekly) about mothers and daughters and the complicated knot of lies and emotions that binds them.
