Our neighbours notice the bruises on my arms. They draw the obvious conclusions. They seem kind, but they’re hiding something. I just can’t shake the feeling that someone is always watching me . . . waiting. My husband’s working late. Again. That’s when I see it.

I Rosenthal non sono una famiglia come le altre. Eric e Hannah sono ebrei osservanti e vivono con i tre figli – Gideon, Elsie e Tovyah – e nonno Yosef, sopravvissuto alla Shoah, in una villa nella zona nord di Londra.

Vita densa di fede e di precetti in cui i tre ragazzi, ciascuno per sé, crescono faticosamente in cerca di uno spazio proprio.

Questo romanzo narra una saga familiare che si svolge in un periodo di tempo che va dall’avvento del fascismo fino ai giorni nostri. È la storia di tre donne: nonna, madre e figlia, tutte non udenti. Rosa viene dal tempo antico e contadino. Impara una lingua simile a quel che vede e tocca: forte e sanguigna. Quella lingua è come una madre, se la porta con sé fino alla fine, e per essa si scontra col mondo civilizzato che non la capisce, e che lei non può comprendere. Da Rosa nasce Laura, che cresce nella grande città, conosce la lingua della gente, la governa, la padroneggia. Ma quella lingua che tutti parlano in realtà non le appartiene.
