Against this backdrop, the narrator endeavors to save a woman encountered by chance on the internet from becoming still another name without a history, another deracinated and disenchanted individual. In prose that is precise and engaging, as though shot through by a sense of pain both silent and inescapable, Pietro Spirito gives shape to an existential thriller in which there are neither guilty parties nor heroes, only victims and survivors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":57257436741976,"sku":"9781978841338","price":33.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/her-name-that-day-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
