Book Details

Dal 1955 al 23 maggio del 1992, quando furono uccisi Giovanni Falcone, Francesca Morvillo e gli agenti della scorta, Simonetta Agnello Hornby tiene stretto il filo della saga famigliare cominciata con Caffè amaro e proseguita con Piano nobile per consegnarci un appassionante ricamo di omicidi, ossessioni, amori, violenze della Sicilia uscita martoriata dal Secondo conflitto mondiale e pronta a patire, protagonista e vittima, altre guerre.

 

Siamo fragili, e siamo imperfetti. Imperfetto è il mondo, non l’amore. E noi ricamiamo, continuiamo a ricamare, con amore.

Andrea Sorci, in preda a un accesso di rabbia, uccide la sua domestica “continentale”. L’omicidio viene insabbiato dal figlio illegittimo del barone Sorci, il potentissimo Peppe Vallo, altrimenti noto come l’Americano. Rico, nipote di Andrea, che sa ma non parla, è un uomo tormentato, deluso dalla Sicilia ferita del dopoguerra: vive accanto a Rita, che ama e non può fare a meno di tradire. Eppure qualcosa si muove: tre donne, le zie che i Sorci hanno ribattezzato “le Tre Sagge”, fondano nella sagrestia della chiesa dei Santi Scalzi il Circolo del Punto Pieno, dove ricamano corredini, tovaglie, lenzuola, asciugamani. Dalla nobildonna alla monaca di casa, alla prostituta, in quel “tripudio febbrile delle dita” si dà forma a una sorta di adunanza femminile dove si discute, si commenta, ci si consola, si offre una speranza di cambiamento e si rammendano traumi sociali e famigliari. È una nuova sorellanza basata su una “separazione dal mondo fuori che solo le donne, quando sono insieme, riescono a creare e a difendere”. Intanto, però, l’uomo vola sulla Luna, gli studenti si ribellano. E la tensione positiva dei movimenti a cavallo fra gli anni sessanta e settanta si scontra con le contraddizioni dell’isola.
