Do we choose our destiny or does it choose us? We could summarize with this question one of the fundamental themes contained in “Tomorrow tomorrow“, the new, highly anticipated return of Francesca Giannone in bookstores after the record-breaking success of “The Postman“.
“Tomorrow, tomorrow” by Francesca Giannone
The synopsis of “Tomorrow, Tomorrow”
Salento, 1959. Lorenzo and Agnese have lost everything. And they understand it when, with the sad eyes that he has carried with him all his life, the father announces that he has sold the family soap factory, an inheritance that he experienced as a condemnation.
For Lorenzo and Agnese, however, that factory that their grandfather created from nothing, which smells of talc, floral essences and vegetable oils, and which occupies their every thought, was the certainty of a peaceful present and the promise of a future. to be traced together, united.
So the idea of remaining there as simple workers under an arrogant new master is devastating for both of them. Lorenzo, proud and impulsive, leaves slamming the door, with his heart full of anger and with only one goal: to find the money needed to take back what is of him.
But Agnese doesn’t follow him: as resolute when it comes to formulating soaps as she is insecure when it comes to living in the world outside the soap factory, she declares: “I’m staying where my home is.”
It is a deep, seemingly incurable crack that opens between brother and sister and will push them onto opposite and unpredictable paths. Because they want the same thing, Lorenzo and Agnese, at least until love brings them to a crossroads again. Each of the two will make a choice, mapping out another tomorrow… Will it be a tomorrow without regrets for both of them?
This is the story of the passion that first unites and then divides a brother and a sister. A story that talks about decisions made by listening to the mind or the heart or both.
Of that moment that can change an entire life. But also of an Italy which, in disbelief, is discovering a sudden well-being, which works on the assembly line and then sings with Mina and dances to the rhythm of the twist, young, creative, impatient…
The story of two brothers and their dream
With “Tomorrow, tomorrow”, Francesca Giannone returns to her beloved Puglia with a new story that promises to excite as that of Anna, the first female postman from Southern Italy, has already done.
This time, the protagonists of the book are two brothers and their dream, linked to family tradition and attachment to a place that smells of home and the future.
Lorenzo and Agnese deeply love the family soap factory. And when they are deprived of it by external circumstances, they decide, each in their own way, to find a way to recover it. Each in their own way, because the two brothers are as resolute as they are different from each other.
Everyone traces a different path. Two “tomorrows”, like those that give the title, separated by a comma, at work, and who knows if in the end they will merge into one…
