But then his daughter falls off her scooter and is rushed to the hospital in a coma. He also has a beautiful wife, a luxurious apartment, and a villa by the sea. ![]() Timoteo has a high-flying career as a surgeon. ![]() In vivid, intense, and masterful prose, Margaret Mazzantini has crafted a tale that electrifies from start to finish, drawing us deep into the darkness of primal passion. “Beautiful… the splintered, humanizing observations that constantly animate this novel… are exhilarating.”
