Irene always feels like she is naked around the people. She has a perfect body but she is ashamed of it. Her legs are beautiful but she stumbles on her high heels she always wears. She has a tendency to run away. She runs away from home, from love, from every connection she makes. But she always returns, eventually.
The book describes the moments when her life changed for good.
It talks about the moment when she went to the funeral of a stranger, the moment when she fell in love with a boy who accidentally hit her in the street, the moment when her son was hiding in the closet because he was afraid of ghosts, the moment when her sister beat her in a swimming competition, the moment when her parents acted like children and the thousand times she came back to Piero, a married politician with dark eyes and perfects hands; the only man that Irene can't leave.
