Following the huge success of La portalettere, currently being translated in 37 countries, Francesca Giannone returns with a deeply emotional and evocative novel that explores the power of family bonds. Lorenzo and Agnese, siblings, are united by their love for the family soap factory but divided by a life-altering decision that shapes their futures. A compelling and heartfelt story of personal growth and complex familial relationships.

Salento, late 1950s. Lorenzo and Agnese have lost everything. Their father has sold the family’s soap factory, a legacy he experienced as a millstone, but which, for the siblings,  represented a reason for living. Now, to remain there as ordinary workers for a new, arrogant owner is a dreadful perspective. On an impulse, Lorenzo decides to leave, intending to find the money to take back what belongs to him. Agnese, on the other hand, decides to stay, unwilling to abandon her home of talc and soap. This leads to a serious and apparently fatal division between the siblings, taking them in opposite and unforeseen directions.
