More about the book
Set against the backdrop of 1980s to early 2000s Rome, the story follows Vero, a young woman trapped in a dysfunctional family dynamic. Her omnipresent, anxiety-driven mother, a hygiene-obsessed father, and a genius brother overshadow her attempts at independence. Through humor and wit, Vero navigates her stifling childhood, crafting stories to cope with her reality. This contemporary bildungsroman blends comedy and poignant reflections on family, identity, and the challenges of growing up, reminiscent of works like Fleabag and Portnoy's Complaint.
