È possibile dunque, anziché andare avanti, tornare sempre più indietro, e ricollegare tutti i fili apparentemente sconnessi che uniscono le nostre vite? Anja Boato costruisce un romanzo vorticoso, nel quale le comparse di un capitolo diventano i protagonisti del successivo e le domande si moltiplicano, tra omicidi, anelli preziosi, disturbi mentali, malattie, funerali e fughe terrificanti.
