In a seaside town out of season, Liza is nineteen and plays a secret game with Milo: sneaking into houses left empty after the holidays, among objects that tell of lives that aren't theirs. It's like looking into windows that shouldn't be open, searching for a "us" to fill the voids of their own home. And when her mother also disappears into thin air, that fragile scaffolding crumbles. Beatrice Dorigo presents Playlist for When You Return (Giralangolo/EDT), an intense and ironic debut novel on the border between fragility and courage, in which the crack opened by waiting allows a little light to filter through, unexpectedly.
