The little I knew

Valerio, Chiara, 1978-2025
Books
In Scauri, an end of the line seaside town 40 miles or so from Rome, Vittoria dies unexpectedly in her bath. Whilst the townsfolk meet the event with sad but respectful southern Italian silence, Lea, the town lawyer, wants to investigate. Who was Vittoria, what were her secrets, why had she mysteriously arrived in Scauri 30 years earlier? And was her relationship with Lea all that it seemed? In this unforgettable portrait of a small town and the women who live there, reverberations from the past catch up with present. Through the silences, Vittoria's story is revealed and everything - passions, emotions, and relationships - changes forever.
