Résumé du livre
Mafia: When a man is killed in Sicily, his wife defiantly dresses in white. Why? And who killed him? The suicide: A young couple sit up waiting for her mother. They become overwhelmed with guilt and they dwell on their shabby treatment towards the old woman. When the old lady returns home after having done something kind and thoughtful -- they turn on her and the cycle of cruelty begins again. The return: A man's mother, his ex-fiancee and his best friend, Maso are awaiting his "return" home. An "escort" appears bearing the man's ashes from a concentration camp. We learn the "escort" and Maso were in the same camp and Maso -- thinking only of his own skin -- had betrayed him. The escort has come for Maso to punish him for his crime.
