Summary

La novela más luminosa de Carla Montero.

Una familia de hombres ausentes y mujeres con coraje.
Una herencia que guarda valiosas lecciones.
Una oportunidad para volver a empezar.

Gianna se ha criado con su abuela en la trastienda de La Cucina dei Fiori, un establecimiento de gastronomía italiana en Barcelona. Apenas conoce su pasado, ni la razón de la peculiar ausencia de hombres en su familia. Pero nada de eso parece tener importancia hasta que la muerte de su abuela y una noticia imprevista la dejan sola y desorientada. Entre las pertenencias de esta encuentra la llave de un molino situado en un pequeño pueblo al norte de Italia y el diario incompleto de su bisabuela, Anice. Cuando todo se desmorona, Gianna halla en la historia de su bisabuela la inspiración para volver a empezar, y emprende un viaje a Italia en busca de sus raíces.

A través de este viaje conocemos a Anice, su conexión casi mágica con la naturaleza, su historia de amor truncada por el estallido de la Gran Guerra y los motivos por los que tuvo que abandonar su hogar y empezar de nuevo en otro país. Pero también acompañamos a Gianna en una travesía de redescubrimiento personal y de lo que verdaderamente importa en la vida: el amor, la amistad y un lugar al que llamar hogar.

Emprende un viaje con las mujeres Verelli en busca del lado más sencillo de la vida.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The brightest novel by Carla Montero.

A family of absent men and courageous women.
An inheritance that holds valuable lessons.
An opportunity to start over.
 
Gianna has been raised by her grandmother in the back room of La Cucina dei Fiori, an Italian restaurant in Barcelona. She barely knows anything about her past, nor the reason for the peculiar lack of men in her family. But none of that seems to matter until her grandmother's sudden death; the unexpected news leave her alone and confused. Among the belongings she leaves behind, are the key to a windmill located in a small town in northern Italy and her great-grandmother Anice’s incomplete diary. When everything seems to be falling apart Gianna finds, within her great grandmother’s story, the inspiration to start over and embarks on a trip to Italy in search of her roots.
 
Through this trip we get to know Anice, her almost magical connection with nature, her love story cut short by the outbreak of the Great War, and the reasons why she had to leave her home and start a new life in another country. But we also go along with Gianna on her journey of self-rediscovery.
