A beautiful and damned mother, a Moscow grandmother, a crushed little girl who does not succumb. And then he, an unscrupulous Sicilian baron, nicknamed "the Rat". Tossed between Beverly Hill's, Rome and Cap Ferrat, the three of them's frantic wanderings heat up in a crescendo of resentments, accusations and fake reconciliations.
A small female saga in the desperate search for a balance that collapses at every step, because as the family mantra says: "We are not like the others, we are different, we are slavic souls!". The pilgrimage of the three women represents the metaphor of their inner journey and of the relationship that keeps them united, conditioned by many factors, including cultural ones.
A profound novel, at times ironic, where the intercultural aspect becomes the narrative feature that defines the protagonists and makes the story current and a stimulus to reflect on ourselves and the world around us.
