Mare calmo, isolati misteri

by Soldano Simona, Soldano Simona
Mare calmo, isolati misteri

Martina has done everything to have a normal life. She has gone to parties, family dinners, and had the odd boyfriend. But, after years, she has realised that she doesn\’t enjoy human company. As a matter of fact, she can\’t stand it. She has discovered herself to be an incurable misanthrope. The only solution is to go away, far away. So she decides to relocate to a lighthouse on a remote island in the Mediterranean. Only, her solitary existence made up of just wind, sea and sky is disturbed by an invitation to dinner from the elderly resident of the neighbouring island. She certainly can\’t refuse and is surprised by how little this man speaks – apparently even more of a misanthrope than she is… However, a few days later, she receives the terrible news that the elderly neighbour has hanged himself. Martina is in no way convinced by the theory of suicide. So much so that she begins to wonder if the few sentences uttered by the man at dinner could be nothing but clues for her, a request for help. And so she starts to investigate.
