Questa è una storia che comincia una sera a cena, quando Libero Marsell, dodicenne, intuisce come si può imparare ad amare. La famiglia si è da poco trasferita a Parigi e la madre ha iniziato a tradire il padre. Questa è la storia, raccontata in prima persona, di quel dodicenne che da allora si affaccia nel mondo guidato dalla luce cristallina del suo nome. Misura il fascino della madre, gli orizzonti sognatori del padre, il labirinto magico della città. Avverte prima con le antenne dell’infanzia, poi con le urgenze della maturità, il generoso e confidente mondo delle donne.
