Lucio ha diciannove anni ed è quello che, nell’ambito dell’equitazione, si chiama cavaliere. Nel suo orizzonte ci sono solo cavalli. Poi ci sono i cavalieri che hanno fatto storia, e c’è l’amico, Ferro, con cui dividere il sogno di vincere. A fronte di tanta ambizione, il padre di Lucio è un intralcio. Intorno il mondo preme: sotto il vigile occhio di istruttori e commercianti di cavalli, si muovono ricchi investitori e le loro figlie. Tutto sembra a portata di mano, anche il sesso, e di ragazze si fa sin troppo facile conquista.

Life is hard enough for a teenage girl in 1950s suburbia without having a mother who may—or may not—be a witch. A single mother at that. Sure, she fits in with her starched dresses, string of pearls, and floral aprons. Then there are the hushed and mystical consultations with neighborhood women in distress. The unsavory, mysterious plants in the flower beds. The divined warning to steer clear of a boyfriend whose fate is certainly doomed. 

Greta ha poco più di vent’anni e un buco nero nel proprio passato. Da piccola è apparsa dal niente sulla spiaggia di un paese della riviera spezzina e nessuno ha mai capito di chi fosse figlia.

Dopo qualche passo falso, ad adottarla e crescerla lontano nell’hinterland milanese è una famiglia con due genitori che sembrano quasi fratelli. Ha studiato, mollato gli studi, si è impiegata e ripiegata sui soliti lavori di chi una strada vera e propria non è riuscito a trovarla.

Born under different stars—Mungo a Protestant and James a Catholic—they should be sworn enemies if they’re to be seen as men at all. Their environment is a hyper-masculine and sectarian one, for gangs of young men and the violence they might dole out dominate the Glaswegian estate where they live. And yet against all odds Mungo and James become best friends as they find a sanctuary in the pigeon dovecote that James has built for his prize racing birds. 

Happily ever after. That was what we were supposed to have. Pudding cups, sandy toes, and a lifetime of making each and every one of our dreams come true - that is the future I'd promised her. I could see it in my dreams, hold it in my hands, but then I watched as all of our hopes and wishes suddenly slipped through my fingers like sand.
