Perhaps the novel is not the definition most appropriate for this very short (distributed in 66 pages full of blank spaces) text. Maybe if it was placed in a collection of short stories would be easier to understand the meaning by comparing it to other texts that would help to penetrate the imagination of the author. As it stands can rattle his apparent lack of sense of internal necessity. In reality it is an enjoyable as treacherous theater, where the characters have depth but they move with the mechanical movements of killer puppets (or suicide). Charlotte, Livia, Mariapaola are apparently women-victims in front of the usual male executioner (unaware), Matthew, but more likely they are victims only of our own smallness, of the superficiality with which he faced life. Perhaps Matthew is despicable, it is perhaps the most genuine character, the only one who acts with ease, as it is. In a city ever named to the river and the hills, we can imagine is Turin, between topical situations such as marriage and the exchange of pairs, in a house HANTEI full of items that belonged to a dead person (which explains the beautiful title) characters, linked by twists that the reader knows, but they ignore in part, make absurd actions with great satisfaction for those who read them. Writing clear and nervous, the absolute lack di momenti di noia, la capacità di mettere in filigrana, senza moralismi né voglia di dare lezioni, la vacuità dei perbenismi borghesi, assicurano un paio d'ore di piacere e divertimento che può anche far pensare.
