VELVET BOOTS, Giuseppina Torregrossa
Palermo vibrates between these pages, revealing itself as a languid city and
irresistible. Only love can tell us who we really are.
Palermo, 1977. The director of a peripheral post office is found dead. There is no trace of the murder weapon, but ten million lire are missing, so it is archived: until it ends up on the desk of Giulia Vella, a young inspector, almost fifty years later.
From Milan she brings with her secrets that she will be forced to deal with, in an almost unreal Palermo, where the past gives shape to the present. It will be precisely the investigations that will make Giulia encounter the deepest part of herself, putting her face to face with a warm humanity that is resistant to any label.
Thus, the inspector gets to know Sicily, with its charm and its contradictions, and the Sicilians, as different from her as they are capable of reading them
inside, making her feel welcomed even far from home.
