At the insistence of her husband, the famous architect Boyd Kingsley, she must spend the summer visiting his wealthy client Leandro Cardetta, with whom her husband has a mysterious relationship in the past. Claire can only speculate about this... His nephew Ettore also finds temporary shelter in Cardetta’s house. He does not yet know that this summer will become the sweetest and most bitter in his life, a bright reflection before “night falls.” For the first time in Russian!
