Tutti conoscono tutti

(Everybody Knows Everybody)

Casa Editrice Longanesi&C., April 2025, pp.368

Valentina Bronti is trying  to start the new year off on the right foot in a fascinating, wistful Turin. A single mother with mischievous triplets, as well as being a chance sleuth, she hopes that the new year will finally bring her some peace and quiet. But when she accepts her friend Luciana’s invitation on New Year’s Eve, she has no idea that the past will come knocking at her door.

New Year’s Eve: determined to leave behind her turbulent relationship with Marco (the father of her adorable, but mischievous daughters), Valentina accepts an invitation from her friend Luciana, nicknamed “Princess Leia”, to a party that transports her back in time. She finds herself among old friends, faces she has never forgotten, tensions that have never been resolved, and, above all, comes up against a tragedy that still hasn’t been explained: that of Mattia, a member of the group, who drowned twenty years earlier. According to the official version, it was an accident. Only that night conceals more than one secret and Valentina decides to investigate and bring to the surface buried truths and decisions that marked everybody’s fate.
