About This Novel
"Hand over each other's darkest secrets so that we can never be separated." The final chapter of the family trilogy of Italian national writer Domenico Starnone. Pietro and Teresa's love life was full of swords and swords. After another argument, she had an idea: Tell me your darkest secrets and I'll do the same. Then we will be together forever. Of course, they broke up soon after. But the end of one relationship is often the beginning of the next, and when Pietro met Nadia, he immediately fell in love with her passivity and softness. However, a few days before the wedding, Teresa magically reappears. Along with her came the shadow of their mutual confession, which was almost a warning. From that moment on, the "confession" they exchanged will always be a threat: all good deeds in Pietro's life will be based on this dark secret. More importantly, Teresa always appeared on time at every crossroads in his life. Or was he always looking for her? With a gaze that is both complicit and distant, and with the aching lightness that only great narratives possess, "Confessions" depicts a man torn between himself and his ambitions. But it's really about each of us: how dangerous the foundations on which we build our identities are.
