«Intanto io sogno che quello costa quasi niente.» Potrebbe essere il riassunto di una vita e in un certo senso lo è: una delle vite che schizzano fuori da queste pagine, racconti di donne i cui destini, diversissimi tra loro, si somigliano però nelle mille sfumature affilate del coraggio, della rabbia, della nostalgia, dell’amore.
