The heart pocket

By Chiara Forlani

It's dawn in the middle of winter. A giant steamship is leaving the port of Genova, bound for Brazil. It is 1936, and two plain-looking women are about to enter the unknown. The older of the two, accompanied by her daughter-in-law, is looking for her son, who has disappeared into thin air. His trial has been lost in Rio De Janeiro, but a problematic journey awaits the two naive travelers: they must penetrate the immense prairies of inland Brazil. A Fazenda, located in a remote place, will reveal an unexpected secret to them.
In the present day, the last heir of an ancient Italian family tries to reconstruct its history to avert oblivion. In the attic of the old family home, now being demolished, Luna, the protagonist, finds mountains of dusty documents and a bundle of ancient letters. She begins a race against time to reconstruct the pieces of a mosaic that may help her find herself and the hope of a future for the ancient home.
A powerful story of feelings that unravels between the present and the past in search of her roots.
