    Summary

    Lewis Hamilton is the name behind Milan’s most influential ethical luxury empire; a man with a perfect life who, behind the catwalks, is shattered. Three years after losing Nico, his husband and the father of his son, Leo, he is unable to decipher the language of his own child. Leo, aged three, is a riddle of silences and crises that no specialist has managed to address. He is the sole link to a shared past with Nico and a constant reflection of what Lewis does not know how to save.

    ​Desperate for a bridge to reach Leo, he turns to an elite nursery where pedagogy and neurology promise to help him reclaim the bond he fears is lost.

    ​Franco Colapinto is a prodigy who arrived in Milan with a mind capable of perceiving what others ignore. He does not expect his clinical placement to hurl him into the centre of the Hamilton universe, facing a child with the face of his greatest hero and the broken gaze of the man who once loved him.

    ​Leo is the small hand that joins theirs. And in every breakthrough, in every shared silence, something begins to take root where before there was only absence.
