Fiction
In Good Times and Bad
by Marina Di Guardo
Description
Irene, thirty-four years old, has been living for a long time as a hostage of her husband Gianluigi, a jealous and violent manager. After the umpteenth black eye and thanks to her friend Alice, Irene loads her young daughter in the car and escapes from Milan. She finds shelter in her parents’ old house in a small town in the countryside. The woman hopes to put the pieces of her life together again, but Gianluigi tracks her down and orders her to return to the city, threatening repercussions - and not just from his lawyers. Irene starts to lose her nerve, but she discovers unexpected allies in town: an old neighbour, a shopkeeper with a soft spot for her, and her husband’s ex-girlfriend who is seeking revenge. Soon, however, some disturbing incidents threaten her fragile serenity. Everything collapses when someone protecting her from Gianluigi is found brutally murdered...
