Translated from the Italian by Dick Kitto & Elspeth Spottiswood This novel, by Italy's leading woman writer, takes the form of letters written by Vera, a much travelled plywright, to her young friend Flavia. Flavia, six, is the niece of Edoardo, a young violinist with whom Vera is having an affair. The changing tone of Vera's letters reflects the change in Flavia from childhood to adolescence. Vera and Edoardo's relationship, its joy and pain and eventually its break-up, make this a sequence of letters never to be forgotten.
