    Summary note
    "Luca Doninelli intertwines four stories set in contemporary Milan, linked by the need of the protagonists to discover their identity, beyond the image that others (or themselves) have built around them. A girl dissatisfied with her normality begins to imagine that she was a boy who later became a girl. A young lesbian woman, who is disturbed and intrigued by a man who has fallen in love with her, has a history of sex with him, then leaves him but can not forget his gaze. A twelve-year-old girl, who does not know the true story of her family, meets an old blind lady, who knows her well but decides not to reveal it to her, suggesting only some clues to rebuild her. An intellectual in the odor of a Nobel Prize after thirty years of distance goes to look for his old master, a legendary character who, unlike him, had decided to cut all the bridges with the world. The meeting will have unpredictable results."--Translated from Publisher's website
