The heartbreaking story of the love between a mother and a daughter that became a literary phenomenon worldwide, with more than 3.5 million readers. Lucy Barton is slowly recovering in the hospital after an operation. Her mother, with whom she hasn't spoken in years, comes to visit her. For five days, both women will spend time together, between silences and gossip about the lives of people Lucy left behind when she left home to pursue her dream of becoming a writer in the big city. Past and present mix in that small room, where two women balance on the fine line that separates love from pain.
