Claudio Piersanti's spare novel observes the life of Luisa, an aging accountant for a toy factory. She is active, liked, utterly serene in her solitude and habits. But a series of changes challenges her. An outside world of noise and unknown callers intrudes, and, worse, Luisa must cope with the slow collapse of her health. This leads her to a fateful mistake: she retires. Soon she withdraws into total seclusion and alone must confront depression and dementia-and the ultimate silence that lies beyond. >
