«Non ti muovere» is the contemporary fiction novel by Margaret Mazzantini, published by Mondadori in paperback (295 pages, in Italian).
A fifteen-year-old girl falls from her moped; her father, Timoteo, a surgeon, waits at the hospital while a colleague operates on her. Trapped by fear, he leaves behind his facade of an exemplary father and husband and confesses to his daughter. He thus reveals a secret passion that pulled him away from his bourgeois life; guilt, silence and love sustain the narrative.
Published in 2001, the work received the Strega Prize in 2002 and belongs to the Scrittori italiani e stranieri collection by Mondadori.
For readers of contemporary fiction and Italian literature, with an intimate story about secrets and passion.
