"Eros, understood as the attraction of the body and the soul that knows no rules and boundaries, is the main protagonist of this novel, which many may view and instead is unlikely caretaker of a profound truth. Peter and Laura are loved by children. Then she left him. A review, by chance, twenty years later, and again broken passion. But Peter is a lonely man, Laura is married and has two children. Life has gone too far for their love in a few months, feelings of guilt and a dramatic event, shut down the affair. Ten years later, Mary's eldest daughter Laura, casually meets Peter. She's identical to her mother, has her voice, her eyes. Soon he realizes that the girl is in love with him, Peter is shocked: the split between Mary inspires tenderness and nostalgia for the loss of the woman he loved, from which he never managed to escape. It is a profound disagreement, in which he once again faces the temptation and a sense of guilt."--Cataloger translation of the back cover.
