Una casa fuori dal tempo
Description:
Pompeii is emerging from the past in all its splendor and mystery: we are in the nineteenth century, and what for centuries was a buried city comes back to life under the careful and curious hands of archaeologists. And it is precisely in the company of one of them, her brother Caspian, that Vera arrives in Pompeii from England. Her unhappy childhood, spent between stern boarding schools and the cold home of a cold aunt, is giving way to a season of travel and possibilities. Vera is sensitive, independent, solitary. Perhaps this is why Ginestra chooses her. She speaks strangely, appears when Vera least expects it and seems to know every corner of the city. Where does she come from, and why is it instinctively clear to Vera that the friendship that immediately unites them must be kept as a secret? With her style overflowing with charm and intensity, Beatrice Masini takes her readers into an unknown time suspended between eras, where what is eternal lives: friendship, the thirst for knowledge, the nostalgia for those who are no longer here.
