From the international bestselling author, an exquisite portrait of marriage, adulthood, and family. -- A young married couple hires a middle-aged widow during the wife, Nora's, difficult pregnancy; they don't realize the dominating force she will become in their small family. Signora A, maid, nanny, and confidante, becomes the glue in their household. It's a story about love in its many forms, and how a capacity for love can give meaning to any existence, no matter how ordinary.
