Rose, the beautiful Rose, remained a slave of her past, a slave of the legacy of her family. In this story, there are some questions desirous of one or more answers. If the family was broken up, it would remain the same relations between genders and between generations and races? The responsibilities of the generation that precedes, is it charged on the following as a genomic imprinting, which marks, and rule forever the next generation? We are the result and the total of our past generations: their illnesses, their frustrations but also their joys add up in us. The author, Germano Romano, wanted to finally put on paper and make public the events distant in time, which took place in an ordinary family, a family that has spanned the decades quietly. Just as quietly and firmly he wrote his story, a story that the author lived as an inexorable imprinting.
