They don’t know each other, but chance throws them together in Rome: a grieving German teacher, an Italian blues singer and an exchange student from America.
Once in her life Laura risked everything: She followed Fabio, her Italian love, to Rome. His sudden death plunged her into unknown depths. Until, in the middle of one night, her new neighbor rings the doorbell. Driven out by a burst water pipe, she sleeps on Laura’s sofa – and stays. And then a student who wants to move into Laura’s apartment shows up.
The three women couldn’t possibly be any more different. Laura wants to get rid of her new roommates as soon as possible. However, the two of them seem to have no intention of moving out again. But maybe that’s not really so bad after all?
A wonderful novel about starting over against one’s will, the courage to love at the right moment and music that plays like life.
