Penelope si sveglia nella casa di uno sconosciuto, dopo l'ennesima notte sprecata. Va via silenziosa e solitaria, attraverso le strade livide dell'autunno milanese. Faceva il pubblico ministero, poi un misterioso incidente ha messo drammaticamente fine alla sua carriera. Un giorno si presenta da lei un uomo che è stato indagato per l'omicidio della moglie. Il procedimento si è concluso con l'archiviazione ma non ha cancellato i terribili sospetti da cui era sorto. L'uomo le chiede di occuparsi del caso, per recuperare l'onore perduto, per sapere cosa rispondere alla sua bambina quando, diventata grande, chiederà della madre. Penelope, dopo un iniziale rifiuto, si lascia convincere dall'insistenza di un suo vecchio amico, cronista di nera. Comincia così un'appassionante investigazione che si snoda fra vie sconosciute della città e ricordi di una vita che non torna. Con questo romanzo – ritmato da una scrittura che non lascia scampo – Gianrico Carofiglio ci consegna una figura femminile dai tratti epici. Una donna durissima e fragile, carica di rabbia e di dolente umanità. Un personaggio che rimane a lungo nel cuore, ben oltre l'ultima pagina del sorprendente finale.

The Heart of Penelope by Marie Belloc Lowndes is a novel set in the late 19th century that explores themes of redemption, memory, and the complexities of personal relationships. The story centers on Sir George Downing, who returns to London after a twenty-year exile following a scandalous affair that marred his past. As he reintegrates into society, he is forced to confront the weight of his earlier mistakes and their lasting effects on his life. The novel opens with Sir George reflecting on his return to England, where the passage of time has dimmed his youthful optimism, leaving him with a mixture of nostalgia and regret. His efforts to rebuild his life are complicated by his marriage to Prudence Merryquick, an American woman whose aspirations for a different kind of life clash with the values of Sir George's former world. This contrast between his past and present life drives the novel's exploration of identity, belonging, and the shifting dynamics of relationships over time. As the story unfolds, readers delve deeper into Sir George's internal struggles, revealing the tension between societal expectations and personal desires. The novel ultimately probes the complexities of human nature and the emotional consequences of the past.
