About the book: 2024 / Sicily, 1904. On the eve of their engagement, young freedom-loving Constanza learns that her father committed suicide. The engagement is broken, and the relatives send the grief-stricken girl to New York - a city where many Italians move in search of a better life. She moves in with distant relatives and starts life from scratch, experiencing painful homesickness. Only after moving to Naples does Constanza regain the ability to breathe and love. More than a hundred years later, her great-granddaughter, opera singer Lucilla, accidentally learns about the fate of her great-grandmother and attempts to find her traces. This story is filled with the menacing music of the waves and the aromas of coastal cities. Here the heroine's joys and tragedies are intertwined with historical events. But no matter what storms fate has in store for her, the eternal blue sea, “where the sun is born and dies,” consoles and gives peace.
