This is an automatically translated description

After a long, hot, and dry summer, a terrible rainstorm causes the Tiber to overflow its banks, flooding Rome and the entire valley. The river turns into an insurmountable obstacle, a geographical boundary, and everything that had previously seemed so familiar and orderly suddenly becomes alien and threatening. Against this alarming and dangerous climatic backdrop, Elena and Hector have to realise that their marriage, and the world they have lived in up to now, is over. Their forced journey becomes a source of reflections, experiences, and encounters that will somehow influence profound changes in both of them.

In this tale of intense adventure, the reader will meet a host of characters - Elena and Hector's children, a mysterious macho mushroom picker, a Japanese survivor of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, a community of nuns, a young Norwegian man, a dog, and many others - who will accompany the protagonists on their perilous discovery of a new world.

The combination of the couple's private drama with the backdrop of an environment on the brink of disaster turns the book into a cry for help and, at the same time, a call for hope. After all, it is precisely when everything goes wrong that people find new ways of living together, and the desire to create, to resist, to imagine the future, to fight and to love awakens in them.

The book is available in the Yakaboo app for free reading in the PrivatBank library.
