About the Book

La vita non è stata buona con Celeste. Drammi e tragedie si sono succeduti nella sua giovinezza e lei vorrebbe solo trovare un angolo di pace. Per questo motivo, lascia l'Italia per trasferirsi in Francia, in quella che era la casa della sua famiglia: una magione circondata da campi, poco distante dal mare. Un luogo perfetto nel quale rigenerarsi. Ma la tranquillità tanto agognata è solo apparente: oscuri segreti si annidano in un'ala della Tenuta. Nei corridoi bui, vecchi e scricchiolanti, strani volti osservano Celeste da fotografie polverose appese alle pareti. Volti che la chiamano a sè, che sembrano dirle qualcosa... E le finestre, chiuse da anni, ecco che improvvisamente paiono aprirsi, le tende muoversi. E dei passi, al di là della porta, offuscano la tenue luce proiettata dalla luna. Qualcuno vive ancora nell'ala proibita. Qualcuno che si nasconde e la cui esistenza viene negata dagli altri abitanti della casa... E, mentre la rassicurante presenza della nonna sfuma sempre di più, Celeste si troverà a fare i conti con un passato sempre più pressante, con frasi sussurrate che celano misteri, con un libro che potrebbe rivelarle una verità (spiacevole?) e con una profezia incalzante come il vento di Mistral che soffia, tenue e implacabile, facendo sbandare la sua intera esistenza. Magistralmente descritto da Laura Clerici in questa novella noir con punte di vera poesia, il paesaggio circostante è orchestrato quasi fosse una storia a sè, nella quale i profumi e i colori prendono vita e trascinano il lettore sul palcoscenico del romanzo, rendendolo protagonista. Tutto questo, mentre il flamenco incalza con i suoi ritmi frenetici e cadenzati, mentre la Festa del Paese si spalanca sull'abrivado. Mentre Celeste, impaurita eppure impavida, avanza sempre di più verso la scoperta del Segreto svelato da un'antica profezia. Non senza dolore... B. Bolzan
