"A wooden house burns in the night, like a small volcano erupting in the center of the valley. Bright tongues rise into the black sky among the serene mountains... And in an instant, everything collapses."
A chalet collapses, it is unknown why it caught fire in the middle of the night. The life of one of the women who sent their daughters on a short winter vacation to this chalet collapses.
Serena never saw herself as a mother - even after she gave birth to a daughter. Serena is a "blond shark", a talented employee of an investment bank, independent, self-sufficient, and no one tells her what to do. But after this night fire, her life, orderly and prosperous, gradually plunges into a bottomless black nightmare. What is the maternal instinct? How did it happen that it is stronger than anything in the world? And the contempt of others, and despair. And fate. And fire.
Donato Carrisi is a renowned Italian writer, playwright and screenwriter, former lawyer, specialist in criminology and behavioral sciences, winner of the Italian Bancarella Prize (2009), the French Prix SNCF du polar (2011) and others, author of bestsellers translated into over 40 languages and with a total circulation of over 20 million copies. His new novel, The Education of Butterflies, is a creepy, hypnotic story of the journey of one woman who sets out in search of her missing child. An endless immersion into the most terrible, most secret corners of the human soul. Where love lives. Where fears nest. Where monsters lurk.
