One day in May 1980, Ilaria, an eight-year-old, gets into her father's car after school. Wandering through northern Italy, from small hotels to highway stops, continues. Reflecting on her mother, the girl vows not to cry anymore. She learns to drive and lie, explores Trieste, Bologna, a boarding school in Rome, and a rural life in sunny Sicily. Through games, songs sung loudly in the car, and the company of Claudia, Isabella, or Vito, the abduction resembles an almost normal childhood. However, her father drinks excessively and is described by the girl as a 'nervous cheetah' surrounded by nicotine clouds. Told in a striking, fast-paced, and precise language, this novel narrates the internal collapse of a little girl who must tackle life's learning process entirely on her own.
