Luca has just died. Anna, his companion, and Leo, a mysterious young man, mourn him. Luca has been found drowned in the Arno in Florence. Anna Morante, his companion, wants to learn the exact causes of this death: accident, suicide, murder? Why are there traces of sleeping pills in Luca's blood when he never took them? In the course of her investigation, she discovers the existence of someone named "Leo Bertina."Although Luca is dead, this does not prevent him from commenting on the consequences of his passing (that is one of the originalities of this novel, the dead man speaks). He is distressed that he has caused the survivors such deep sorrow. He is even more distressed at seeing Anna struggle to learn a secret that will destroy her.Love, mourning, concealment, and the subtlety of feelings are the major themes of this fourth and eagerly anticipated book by a young writer who has now achieved recognition.
