Veiller sur elle
In the great game of fate, Mimo has drawn the wrong cards of the deck. Born poor, struck by dwarfism, an apprentice of a vicious and untalented sculptor of no stature. But he has genius in his hands. Almost all the fairies have looked at Viola Orsini. Heiress of a prestigious family, she spent her childhood in the shadow of a Genoese palace. But she is too ambitious to resign herself to the role that is predetermined to her. Mimo and Viola should never have met. At first glance, they recognize each other as "cosmic twins" and swear never to abandon each other. They can neither live together nor stay away from each other for long. Bound by an unwavering force of attraction, they cross turbulent times, the years when Italy is sinking into fascism. Mimo takes his revenge on fate, but what good is glory if he must lose Viola?
