Editor's Note:
Ad accoglierci tra le pagine di questo romanzo è una donna, una scrittrice, che dopo essersi sentita ai margini per molti anni ha finalmente conosciuto il successo. Attraversa un tempo ruggente di riscatto, che cerca di tenersi stretto ma ogni giorno le sfugge un po' di più. Proprio come la figlia ventenne, che rifiuta di parlarle e si è trasferita a vivere lontano. Combattuta tra risentimento, desiderio di rivalsa e sgomento per il tempo che si consuma la coglie Federica, la più cara amica del liceo, quando dopo trent'anni torna a cercarla. E riporta nel suo presente anche la sorella maggiore Livia - dea di bellezza sovrannaturale, modello irraggiungibile ai loro occhi di sedicenni sgraziate, che in seguito a un incidente è rimasta prigioniera nella mente di un'eterna ragazza.Come accadeva da adolescenti, le vite tornano a intrecciarsi, i pensieri a specchiarsi, a respingersi e mescolarsi. La protagonista perlustra il passato alla ricerca di una verità, su se stessa e su Livia, e intanto cerca di ritrovare il bandolo della propria esistenza ammaccata: il lavoro, gli amori. Livia era e resta un mistero insondabile: miracolo di eterna bellezza preservata nell'inconsapevolezza? O fenomeno da baraccone? Avvolti nelle spire di un'affabulazione ammaliante, seguiamo la protagonista in un viaggio che è insieme privato e generazionale, interiore e concreto. E mentre lei aspira a fermare l'attimo per non perdere la gloria, la sorte di Livia è lì a ricordare cosa può succedere se la giovinezza si cristallizza in un presente immobile: una diciottenne nel corpo di una cinquantenne, una farfalla incastrata nell'ambra.
