BOOK "THE CHILDREN OF THE WOODS - On every path I recognize the breath of the wind. But only one is the right one for me" - Garzanti
The steep and impervious path winds through rocks and crevasses to the Cima delle Anime. It unites two border lands, and it was traced by those who walk through it night after night looking for a passage on the ridges. It has always protected the path of smugglers who secretly ply it when primroses and anemones close their corolle to the moon. Women for whom such a difficult choice is the only possibility of independence. Even if it's dangerous. Very dangerous.
When Luce discovers their existence, her desires finally take shape. Her father and brother taught her that those mountains aren't suitable for a girl. That his job is to wait home for their return. But now she's ready to challenge that ban.
To give it strength is Thomas, a boy without a past or a place to return to, who has learned on his own skin that nature can give unexpected gifts, cruel as it is welcoming. Luce feels that with him there is a special bond, as deep as the roots of a tree. What he can't know, however, is that Thomas holds a secret that casts a dark shadow over his life. A secret that belongs to the past but that years later, on that same mysterious path, will intertwine the story of Luce and Thomas with that of a missing child and a man ready for anything to find him. In a search in which every step, every slope overcome is a journey within oneself to discover one's origins and identity.
Romina Casagrande returns to shed light on a page of our history that has remained in the shadows. And it does so by giving a voice to women whose names and achievements have even been lost. His story takes the reader by the hand and immerses him in the magic of the mountains, which are generous but demanding teachers of life, which can give a lot but much they ask for in return. A novel that speaks to us of freedom, courage, redemption.
