"[Francis] is just so good at the transcription and transformation of everyday ordinary life, all seen from sideways on, so that everything becomes so strange and so funny."–Tessa Hadley An elderly academic is accosted by a homeless woman on his way home from the cinema. She tells him her name is Laura. So begins a nightmarish journey for Gerald, who is forced to confront the mystery of his own past and to ask himself if he has lived a good life – or even a decent one. In the course of this very funny, sometimes disturbing and often moving novel, suppressed memories return to haunt him, including the question of the role he played in a family tragedy. Above all he has to assess the harm he may have done in a long-forgotten love affair. Those close to him suddenly appear unfathomable as he begins to question if he truly knows those closest to him and even himself. The problem with exploring the past, Gerald begins to see, is that there are an infinite number of ways to travel through it.
Laura
Nella Romania comunista del dittatore Nicolae Ceaușescu la vita di tutti i cittadini è programmata e definita nei minimi dettagli, come l’educazione scolastica o il tipo di casa in cui le famiglie possono vivere; ma anche i sogni e le aspirazioni, nonché l’immaginazione del singolo individuo vengono influenzati da uno schema di indirizzo della società indiscutibile e, all’apparenza, intoccabile. Ma così non è per la giovane Laura, una ragazza studiosa, brillante, che gioca a pallacanestro e che soprattutto è dotata di spirito critico, un’indomabile curiosità e nessuna disponibilità a sottomettersi agli uomini violenti che sono la rappresentazione conforme della subdola ma ta...
An Echo of Scandal
In the dead of night, with blood on her hands, she made her escape. Accused of murder, Alejandra flees her home, escaping to the southern edge of Spain, where she faces a life of poverty and destitution. Seduced by the power of the rich and the anonymity that waits across the water in Tangier, Ale makes a bid for a new start. But it will come at a cost: a life of deception. Because Ale's new friends want to know what she is running from, they want to know who she is and whether they can trust her. Fifty years later, a young American writer wanders the streets of Tangier, searching for inspiration. When he stumbles across a trace of Ale's life, he finds himself tangled in a story of scandal, love and danger that has not yet reached its end.
The Right World
While following the police investigation into femicide, you discover The Right World. A society that, as if reflected through a mirror capable of reversing gender roles, is matriarchal. Women make a career only if they have daughters; they have always guided the evolution of the species; the image of human perfection is Vitruvius' woman. It is men who demand equal opportunities, claim equal pay and less discrimination. Between international politics scenarios, the Holy Mother of the Church's statements, episodes of matriarchal fundamentalism, the policewoman who leads the investigation wonders whether to give birth to a daughter. Her doubts and the inquest run parallel along with the crescendo of history, up to the epilogue. It will then be up to you to decide if The Right World is a utopia, an ideal dream to be achieved, or a dystopia, a reality in which we would not want to live, neither as oppressors nor as oppressed.

Misunderstood
Since early childhood, Laura was never allowed to express her feelings without being accused of backchatting. Her mother was suicidal, and her father liked his drink. To escape from all this, she would often daydream and go into a fantasy world of her own. Laura was often bullied at school until one day, she learnt to stick up for herself. As she grew up, she fell madly in love, only to be rejected when she was four and a half months pregnant and had to bring up her daughter on her own. She eventually made the biggest mistake of her life when she found herself trapped in a loveless marriage. Laura was divorced after three years, only to be trapped again when she met someone whom she believed could love her unconditionally.
Meeting Laura
"...dedicated to those minds wanting to think, to those hearts wanting to beat, to the brave and the crazy." A young writer, a challenge that he can't not accept and his "crazy" idea to follow that dream with his whole being. In his pocket, a plane ticket for New York, a few bucks, a little bit of fear, and a lot of determination. A manuscript that he hugs to himself, "as if it were the most important thing on the face of the earth," a book already written, ready to be consigned to the world, but with a surprise ending that draws the reader in. A trip with an uncertain outcome, most assuredly unexpected, in order to meet his muse, and to give her his opus, sensations, words, and emotions for...
