Giulia Dal Mas - The Last Healer, Edizioni TRE60
Austria, 1938. Ada Meyer, daughter of a Florentine noblewoman and a German general, is spending a period at her family villa on the shores of Lake Constance. She will soon have to return to Florence to marry a man she has not chosen, but when she meets Karl Berger, an architect working for her father, she falls in love: he is a brilliant man with a deep sense of justice. However, Karl is Jewish, and Austria is about to be annexed to Hitler's Germany… Cavalese, 1938. Marlena is a young schoolteacher, but everyone calls her the healer for her great knowledge of herbs and the human body. When Ada and Karl, arriving from Austria with a group of refugees, ask for her help to cure a sick child, Marlena realizes that her intervention will be crucial to save him. But the brief stop of Ada and Karl in Val di Fiemme will leave an everlasting mark on her life… Cavalese, 2024. When Ester, the owner of the village inn, receives a phone call from Giulio Corsini, a Florentine lawyer, she discovers the existence of some letters never sent and addressed to Marlena Pilcher, her adoptive grandmother. Arriving in Tuscany, among the ancient walls of Palazzo Abati, Ester uncovers the story of a family, an unexpected bond, and a great love. In a journey tracing the footsteps of the past, Ester lifts the veil of secrets that had always shrouded her roots and, with Giulio's help, discovers a new self, ready to embrace an authentic and bright future.
