La vita comincia domani: romanzo

A bright spring morning lifts the curtain on a flourishing country villa, where the air hums with the scent of oleanders and swarms of laughing swallows. Maria Dora, radiant and playful, glides through the glass‑walled loggia with a silver tray of coffee, her laughter echoing off the blooming geranium trellis that her father, Stefano, tends with fierce pride. In the same sun‑lit space her brother Marcuccio, a restless youth, scribbles furiously in a notebook while his old violin and tangled yarn lie nearby, hinting at the restless creativity that fills his days.

Beneath the serene surface, the estate’s rhythm is tugged by practical concerns: a broken plow, a stubborn tenant, and the weight of family expectations. As Stefano’s voice booms over a terse exchange with the farm manager, Maria Dora’s light‑hearted teasing masks a deeper yearning for something beyond the cultivated gardens. The story balances the charm of rural life with the stir of ambitions that suggest tomorrow may bring change for each member of this tightly woven household.
