Donatella Di Pietrantonio - Halásznegyed

Sequel to The Returned Girl

"There's something about me that makes others want to leave me."

In the darkest hour of the night, Adriana, with a baby in her arms, knocks on her sister's door.
Who are you running from? Are you really in danger? He brings with him questions and doubts, upheaval and restlessness, and he quickly notices the cracks in the depths of his sister's marriage.
Years later, the narrator lives in a small French town, from which he is unexpectedly called by a phone call.
During his seemingly endless nocturnal journey, he calls out from the corners of his memory his and his sister's youth, their loves and losses, their secrets and regrets.
In the coastal fishing district of Pescara, in this microcosm based on rock-solid laws, yet inclusive, among people who are sometimes hospitable, sometimes hostile, he finds out what happened to his sister, and whether he can come to terms with his past.
Donatella Di Pietrantonio returns after The Returned Girl with a tense, intimate, densely woven novel centered on the ambivalent but solid relationship between the sisters.
