Tuscany, 1938. The sun-drenched hills of Valdera whisper of ancient heritage, but beneath the roof of a magnificent villa, a storm is already brewing. Seventeen-year-old Mathilde wants for nothing, praised by all as the undisputed beauty of the borgo. Yet behind the facade of wealth and her family's pristine reputation lies a hollow house of ghosts. Sheltered and longing for affection, she is entirely blind to the dark secrets festering within her own family-and the dangerous rumors surrounding her mother's intense devotion to a handsome local priest.
Everything changes on a quiet Sunday morning when a sudden colpo di fulmine-a striking flash of lightning-rewrites her destiny. A chance encounter with Marcello, a brave young soldier with grand aspirations, sparks a passionate and undeniable first love. In his arms, Mathilde catches a glimpse of a future filled with genuine warmth, fiercely protected by her older brother Salvatore, a rising star in the prestigious Lupi di Toscana infantry unit. For a fleeting summer, the world feels beautifully, perfectly alive. But innocence cannot survive a town violently divided against itself. As the calendar ticks ruthlessly toward 1939, the escalating blood feud between local Blackshirt fascists and underground communist rebels turns their quiet valley into a political pressure cooker. With Salvatore bound to the regime's military machine, neighbours turning on neighbours, and family scandals threatening to explode from within, Mathilde is caught in the crossfire of an ideological war. As the final months of peace slip away, she must face a terrifying reality: in a town where silence is survival, taking a side might cost her everything.Wie gefällt Ihnen unser Shop?
