«Il viaggio verso casa» is the contemporary fiction novel by Catherine Dunne, published by Guanda in paperback (264 pages, in Italian).
Elizabeth left Ireland to live independently, but her mother's illness forces her to return to Dublin. The mother, who cannot speak, writes her letters; Elizabeth reads them and gradually overcomes old resentments, until she rediscovers dialogue with her brother and the affection that binds them. The family home remains as a symbol of preserved feelings.
