L'Ultima Primavera. Il riflesso segreto dei ricordi: Romanzo
Giulietta Esthel
A woman discovers her great-aunt's secret diary — a WWII love story that ends in tragedy in 1945 Tuscany.
Description
L'amore non muore mai. "...Una casa misteriosa, di cui non avevo mai sentito parlare e che neppure sapevo appartenesse alla mia famiglia. Mi chiesi se come tutte le antiche dimore disabitate, avesse anch'essa il suo fantasma. Un'ombra silenziosa che ancora si aggirava tra le stanze vuote, in cerca di pace. O in attesa..." Clemenza � una giovane insegnante; alla morte della nonna, una ex attrice degli anni Quaranta, riceve una strana eredit�. Una casa in Toscana, di cui non ha mai saputo l'esistenza, dove aveva vissuto una sua misteriosa antenata, anch'essa sconosciuta. Con il ritrovamento di un suo manoscritto potr� rievocarne la storia, tornando al 1943, quando la villa � stata costruita. Rivivr� la storia del grande amore tra la prozia e un giovane ingegnere attraverso il diario, dove la vita sentimentale dei due protagonisti s'intreccia agli eventi della seconda guerra mondiale e alla lotta partigiana. In seguito all'8 settembre, lui far� ritorno in Liguria per entrare nella Resistenza spezzina. E mentre le sorti del conflitto staranno ormai precipitando, un crudele destino si aprir� come un baratro nelle loro vite. Un salice piangente e uno specchio d'acqua, saranno i muti testimoni del tragico epilogo; nell'ultima primavera: quella del 1945.
