  • Abstract: The characters spend their holidays in an Italian resort. The ideal place lends itself to their game, the holiday time is spent in conversation with friends. But up close, this picture turns out to be not without its rough edges, the carefree attitude soon turns into deadly, almost existential boredom. This boredom is highlighted by two events that the characters, especially Sara, have to face. The art of the novel is to paint the landscape of the heart as vibrations of the sensitive world.
