Nicoletta Gramantieri

A Fog Of Ghosts and Secrets

Magical realism

A village. A river. A mysterious fog rising from the river. And a girl destined for something more.

We can’t tell too much about this story, but there’s a town immersed in fog, ghosts that seem to rise from the river, the chimes of the bell tower, and dead children. Like in many fairytales, there are a godmother and a poor girl, perhaps with a destiny. There are secrets hidden in the past. There’s an old woman who knits grey socks, a group of fighters who never came down from the hills after the war. And a mystery that has been waiting too long to be revealed.
