fourteen years and have many dreams, Nicholas and Anna, when s’incontrano nella bella Crotone in riva al mare. Lui ha il mito di Pietro Mennea, vuole diventare un grande velocista, ha un’energia speciale nelle giovani gambe. Lei ha il mito di Lucio Battisti che ha conosciuto in Toscana, durante la famosa cavalcata da Milano a Roma, e al quale scrive lunghe e appassionate lettere, sognando di vederlo interpretare i testi che gli manda.Nicola ci mette poco a innamorarsi di Anna. Lei è ritrosa, testarda. Ma davanti al mare scintillante su cui svetta la colonna di Hera Lacinia, nei campi dai mille profumi, in mezzo ad amici rari come Rino Gaetano che cantano e amano la vita, è difficile non innamorarsi. Saranno, per Anna e Nicola anni belli e pieni, anni con il vento tra i capelli. Ma veloci, veloci per il bisogno di allontanarsi, crescendo, da quella terra meravigliosa eppure povera, dura, che ai suoi figli offre, nel migliore dei casi, di respirare veleni lavorando alla Montecatini – un’ombra nera in riva al mare.
Tra i personaggi indimenticabili compaiono Capocolò, misterioso e saggio, silenzioso e profondo, e Rino Gaetano, di cui si racconta da vicino l’intera parabola di uomo e artista, raccontandone il legame con la sua città natale, Crotone. Nicola rincorre a testa bassa le sue speranze, scatta in avanti con l’impazienza della gioventù. Ma Anna, come ogni donna, guarda più lontano, unisce ai sogni una umile tenacia che Nicola non sa capire… Quando Anna lo lascia, maybe he can not imagine not see her again for fourteen long years. Years long, confused, where the Walk in the ashes.
On 9 September 1998, the radio announces the death of Lucio Battisti, consumed by an evil without escape. Driven by the music of Lucio and Rino Gaetano, Nicola felt it was time to find Anna. Without impatience, this time. He wants to finally confide the secret that haunts him - but do not suspect that she will watch over a much more decisive, for both
... In this novel, full of passion Carmine Abate makes the brave decision to pull over sharp stones smooth and round as the dialect of the words songs. The result is a language that tasty, intertwining the fates with those of the protagonists of two great Italian singers, tells a story as intense as the summer sun and delicate as a song writer.
