Matilda, the matriarch of the Cabrelli family, was sharp and self-confident from her youth. But she never told her family about her mother's story. At the end of her life, she understands that the time has come, and the story of an extraordinary woman, like her mother Domenica, should not go into oblivion... Domenica grew up in the coastal Viareggio, a small provincial town, since childhood she stood out among her peers - with her love of freedom, intelligence and desire to break out of the traditional framework prepared for women. Having studied to be a nurse, she plans to connect her life with medicine. But both her plans and the life of all of Europe are destroyed by the approaching war. Domenica's fate will be connected with Scotland, with the sea captain John MacVicars, but her heart still belongs to Italy and her beloved Viareggio. A surprisingly rich novel based on a true story, telling not only about the life of an Italian family, but also the fate of British Italians who found themselves outcasts in World War II, rejected by their new homeland. A family saga, a historical novel, landscapes of the Tuscan coast and wonderful heroes - the new novel by Adriana Trigiani, the author of "The Shoemaker's Wife", guarantees a real immersion in an amazing, very beautiful and not the most ordinary story, covering almost the entire twentieth century.
