[Italian] - Il profumo dei fiori di zafferano

"DUE DONNE. UN FIORE PREZIOSO. UN SEGRETO TERRIBILE, NASCOSTO DA CINQUE SECOLI. 1541 Sola nella gelida torre di una tenuta nel Suffolk, Eleanor intinge la penna nell'inchiostro e inizia a scrivere. Non c'è più tempo, ormai, per fare ciò che è necessario. Gli uomini del re Enrico VIII stanno arrivando, e lei deve andarsene in fretta e lasciare la dimora in cui è stata tanto felice. Soprattutto deve abbandonare i campi di zafferano, la pianta preziosa come l'oro i cui semi le sono stati donati dai monaci che l'hanno cresciuta. Adesso spera solo che qualcuno trovi il suo messaggio e capisca cosa gli sta chiedendo di fare. Una volta finito di scrivere, la donna prende un fiore di zafferano, lo posa tra due fogli di pergamena insieme al rametto di rosmarino che vi ha messo a seccare e richiude il libro… 2019 Nella vecchia biblioteca della tenuta di suo nonno, Saffron Hall, Amber sfoglia pagine sottili, impreziosite da delicate miniature. Non può fare a meno di pensare che quel libricino di preghiere rilegato in pelle stesse aspettando proprio lei. È come se attraverso le annotazioni riportate a margine Eleanor, la donna che le ha scritte, stesse cercando di mandarle un messaggio. Ma cosa vuole da lei? Quale segreto nascondono quelle pareti vecchie di secoli? E che cos'è il profumo dolce e speziato che di tanto in tanto avverte nell'aria? Il profumo dei fiori di zafferano è un romanzo appassionante e commovente che parla di dolore e rinascita, di due donne lontane eppure vicine, del terribile segreto che le unisce e di un mistero rimasto sepolto per cinquecento anni. Ma soprattutto è un'indimenticabile storia d'amore e di speranza capace di attraversare i secoli."
