The narrative revolves around the emotional and physical struggles of the main character, Roberta, who appears to be battling a severe illness, and her sister, Emilia, who is deeply concerned for her wellbeing. Set against the backdrop of the Riviera di Levante, the novel explores themes of love, mortality, and the fragility of life as the sisters navigate their turbulent emotions and the specter of death looming over their lives. The opening of the novel introduces us to a critical moment as Roberta, recently stricken by her ill fate, experiences a resurgence of her illness while observing the storm outside. Emilia, her devoted sister, attempts to provide comfort and reassurance, though they both grapple with the reality of Roberta's dire condition. Descriptions of nature's turmoil mirror the internal chaos the sisters feel, emphasizing the contrast between beauty and despair. As the chapters unfold, we witness the poignant interplay between the sisters, their fears, and the impending sense of tragedy, setting the stage for a deeply affecting narrative about love, hope, and the weight of illness.
