The house on Corso Trieste is the novel by Cristina Bruscaglia just published by Publishing perspective.
Three months and a whole life told by Lilli, a forty-year-old girl. A forty-year-old young woman who, like most women of her generation, experiences the difficulty of growing old on her own skin, in an implacable society that does not allow it.
A story told with the "help of an agenda" on which the protagonist has marked, without knowing it, the destiny that will lead her to discover the ghosts of the past; what her memory has not had the strength to hold back. This is how, recounting the previous three months, in everyday life - between shopping at the supermarket, a visit from a friend and an ultrasound at the gynecologist - she describes her sentimental relationship with a separated man and father of two teenagers, the strong relationship and conflictual with her adored older sisters, her activity as a talented but dissatisfied portrait painter, and above all she analyzes the difficult childhood and youth.
His present, in Rome in 2000, will intertwine with that of his eccentric family, who lived in a villa on Corso Trieste in the early 900s.
A novel where ordinary and paranormal, serenity, hilarity and anguish can coexist making us understand how strong and fragile human nature can be, and hope that certain wounds can heal without making us ashamed of the scars that will inevitably remain.
The ending, told as a detailed chronicle of a dinner, will reveal a secret hidden on almost every page.
