From the reading of this novel emerge authentic and genuine talents as a narrator, or the author's ability to weave the strings of a narrative capable of involving the reader and transporting him to the fictitious world of diegesis; fictitious but, when wisely constructed as in this case, capable not only of captivating the reader's attention, but of constituting itself as an authentic parallel world that joins the real world and, in the act of reading, even replaces it. The novel is easy and smooth to read, although it deals with themes that are often arduous but always fascinating and profound. After the collection of stories True man and true white heron, in the greater space of the novel, this skill in weaving textures now emerges in all its fullness and richness: the novel creates a dimension where the reader without realizing finds himself living , bound by the universe of narrative invention which, when supported by the qualities possessed by Fineschi, makes the real world forget, so much its strength and vitality. To achieve this result, the author uses a dry and sober, sustained and tonally high prose, yet alien to all sorts of complacency and preciousness. In doing so, the world outlined in this work, the various characters that move there and the bonds that bind them to each other, acquire a reality of their own, intense and vibrant among the pages of the novel, which run fast for the ability to involve the reader and lead him into that elsewhere created by prose.
