The first volume of a serial identity thriller, in which a writer tells the prehistory of a tangled family story. The setting is a quiet alley in a small Sicilian town lying in a valley bowl, preparing for Christmas, where a tense countdown begins under bad omens: a man waits for the truth, a writer for DNA results, a novel for its characters. The question is what to do when it turns out that hardly anything we knew, believed or thought about ourselves and our family is true. The author set out to write the story of fathers, but the story began to write him.
