A wooden house burns in the dark, like a flash of a volcano in the middle of a valley. Bright tongues of flame rise toward the sky surrounded by calm mountains… And the next moment, everything collapses.
This house, which caught fire in the night, became the cause of the destruction of one woman’s life—after she sent her daughters to that chalet for a short winter getaway.
Serena had never seen herself as a mother, not even after giving birth to her daughter. She is known as the “blonde shark” at an investment bank—self-sufficient and independent. But after this terrible fire, her life begins to fall apart. What is a maternal instinct? Why is it so powerful? And how can she deal with it?
“Raising Butterflies” is a new novel by the well-known Italian writer Donato Carrisi, telling a horrifying story of a woman who sets out to search for her missing child. It’s a plunge into the darkest and most hidden corners of the human soul, where love, fear, and monsters live.
