“M.J. Camilleri’s novel is all about events: how the big ones and the small ones change the course of our destiny. All of this wrapped up with a feel-good vibe.”

“Tell her to stay.”
“It will all end in tears, you know.”
“Maybe it will. As it has done many times before. But maybe, just maybe, it won’t. And if there’s one thing that’s obvious about you, it’s that you’re still looking, still trying. So give this a shot.”

Toni Tanti has left a marriage and a busy career, hoping for a stress-free life of solitude in his old Sliema flat. Tragedy strikes, and over the course of a few October days, Toni’s life — and the entire island of Malta — is thrown into turmoil. But with tragedy comes clarity, and Toni is about to discover what his restless mind has been searching for.
