Giorgia was a talented actress before she abandoned her stage career and fell in love with Filippo. She settles into a life of quiet compromise - until one day she bumps into her old theater director, Mauro, who fans the acting flame back to life. But setting a restless soul on fire can be dangerous if the leading actress loses sight of the boundary between reality and fiction - and Giorgia collapses, ending up in a clinic. Filippo and Mauro find themselves both accomplices and adversaries, seduced by a dangerous game to heal and win back Giorgia: by writing the script for her perfect life.
Claudia Petrucci studied Modern Letters in Milan before moving to Perth, Australia. Her reportages and short stories have been published on Cadillac, minima&moralia, and elsewhere. The Performance is her debut novel and received raving reviews in Italy. The prominent Italian radio program Fahrenheit selected it as Book of the Day. It was shortlisted for the John Fante Award and won the prestigious Premio Flaiano Giovani, for writers under 30.
