Hace doce años, cuando mi madre eligió a su violento novio en vez de a mí, terminé en un cuarto de un orfanato. ¡Gracias a Dios, en seis semanas, tendré dieciocho años y seré libre!

Él no pierde la oportunidad de provocarme y, por alguna razón, parece prever cada paso de mi brillante plan de escape. ¿Qué demonios...? Sin embargo, cometió un pequeño error.

Pero también habla de los abusos de poder, especialmente en tiempos de guerra, y de los sacrificios que el ser humano debe hacer para preservar aquello que más ama.»Publishers Weekly
Léonie
by Sveva Casati ModignaniThe Cantoni family lives in a luxurious mansion right outside Milan. For three successful generations, the Cantonis have been running a prominent faucet-manufacturing business. Despite their respectable appearances, every member of the family has secrets and scars that they want to hide. The family rule is to sweep uncomfortable truths under the rug; the streak of madness afflicting Bianca, the dynasty's matriarch, is therefore kept quiet. The newest addition to the family is Léonie Tardivaux, a penniless young French girl who marries Guido Cantoni, Bianca's only grandson. Léonie becomes so much a part of the family that she too adopts the belief that some facts are better left untold. And yet she is a consummate wife, doting mother, and talented career woman who guides the family business through the rough waters of the economic recession. Meanwhile, she harbors her own secret: Every year, for just one day, she leaves it all behind and drives off to a romantic hotel on Lake Como.
