Told largely in letters, the novel follows a mother, no longer young, and her son Michele, distant from her not only in miles but in his ideas, his needs, his loves and his griefs. She resents him yet cannot pull away, and letters are the last cord that ties them. Around them gather other scattered figures, divided by their inability to communicate and headed for solitude, whose lives are made of missteps that no right choice could have prevented.
