L'ultimo giorno di sole

"While all flee in search of an unlikely place where they can save themselves from an impending solar explosion, a woman decides to stay in the country where she was born, and to look inside herself. It tells to itself and to the world that it disappears what it has seen and who it has met, the things that has lived and those that has dreamed. And he sings to exorcise the darkness. Or to welcome that darkness with heart-rending sweetness. Giorgio Faletti takes his leave, together with his protagonist, in the sign of a moving tenderness for human things." -- rough translation of the dust jacket summary
