| Abstract | "Michele Campo was born in the provinces. His father, before becoming a doorman in a posh Neapolitan neighborhood, lived a life of petty crime; his mother, an indefatigable seamstress, quietly guards a painful secret. Now a speech pathologist in his forties, Michele shares a stable relationship with Costanza, scion of an upper-class Neapolitan family. But the contentious gaze of Martina, the ward of a juvenile court residing in a foster home, disrupts the complacency; from this moment, Michele's past-related to his mother's secret-slips into his present. Martina's case forces him to focus on those who live in the shadows of Naples, even as he lives in its light. Consumed by the little girl's case, Michele attempts to reconcile his origins with his current social station by finding a way to insert himself into a family that until recently he did not even know he had"-- Provided by publisher. |
