The plot of “Per-dono”
The novel describes the story of Piera, a police inspector and widow of a murdered escort officer. The narrative also involves Patrizia Copertino, a social worker engaged in the fight against the violence of the Camorra. Patrizia, together with her partner, founds reception centers such as Nest and Together, seeking redemption through forgiveness. The book explores the theme of forgiveness, described as a reconciliation with oneself and with others, a process that accepts failure and frees the mind from negative thoughts.
