"A woman escapes her everyday life and moves to Florence. In the southern city, everything seems strange and enticing at the same time: the tiled roofs, the church towers, the lovers, the man she meets shortly after her arrival. She thinks that she herself comes from a barren region, that she has a lot to learn and that he could be the one to thaw the frozen ground inside her. In return, she also has something to teach him. The novel is the story of the two of them, their bodies and their souls. About her grip on him and his ever tighter grip on her. The devil's grip." (Publisher)
