Veiller sur elle
Au grand jeu du destin, Mimo a tiré les mauvaises cartes. Né pauvre, il est confié en apprentissage à un sculpteur de pierre sans envergure. Mais il a du génie entre les mains. Toutes les fées ou presque se sont penchées sur Viola Orsini. Héritière d'une famille prestigieuse, elle a passé son enfance à l'ombre d'un palais génois. Mais elle a trop d'ambition pour se résigner à la place qu'on lui assigne. Ces deux-là n'auraient jamais dû se rencontrer. Au premier regard, ils se reconnaissent et se jurent de ne jamais se quitter. Viola et Mimo ne peuvent ni vivre ensemble, ni rester longtemps loin de l'autre. Liés par une attraction indéfectible, ils traversent des années de fureur quand l'Italie bascule dans le fascisme. Mimo prend sa revanche sur le sort, mais à quoi bon la gloire s'il doit perdre Viola ? Un roman plein de fougue et d'éclats, habité par la grâce et la beauté.

Vaka Över Henne
Hösten 1986: en gammal man ligger för döden i ett kloster i italienska Piemonte. I fyrtio år har han levt bakom stängda portar i klostret för att vaka över henne . Hon", det är Mimo Vittalianis senaste skapelse, en pietà som skapar så starka reaktioner att Vatikanen gett order om att skulpturen ska hållas bakom murar i klostrets källare. Mimo Vitaliani födds med oddsen emot sig. Han är ovanligt kort och mycket fattig. Hans italienska föräldrar har sökt lyckan i Frankrike, där fadern jobbar som stenhuggare, men när fadern dör 1916 kan modern inte längre försörja dem. Hon tvingas skicka Mimo till en farbror i Piemonte för att jobba som stenhuggarlärling. Mimo är mycket begåvad, men farbrorn har inte minsta avsikt att hjälpa honom framåt i livet. I den lilla italienska byn regerar den mäktiga familjen Orsini, vars dotter Viola är lika rebellisk som intelligent. Hennes öde är att gifta sig fördelaktigt, men hennes dröm är att lära sig flyga. När Viola och Mimo träffas uppstår en omedelbar igenkänning: de är tvillingsjälar. En stark vänskap med inslag av kärlek uppstår en vänskap som prövas genom åren. Berättelsens Rom, Florens och Piemonte tillhör ett land i ekonomisk och politisk förändring, präglat av fascismens intåg, kyrkans nära relation till makten och en ledare besatt av att återge Italien dess forna glans. Det är mot en mörk bakgrund denna magnifika berättelse om omöjlig kärlek och konstens sårbarhet utspelar sig.
