Misteri e verità nella vita di un medium, frutto di un’accurata indagine, e molteplici testimonianze, si annovera nella categoria del “romanzo sperimentale”, inteso come documento di vita.

Saru Argentu, inteso Tararà, appena introdotto nella gabbia della squallida Corte d’Assise, per prima cosa cavò di tasca un ampio fazzoletto rosso di cotone a fiorami gialli, e lo stese accuratamente su uno dei gradini della panca, per non sporcarsi, sedendo, l’abito delle feste, di greve panno turchino. Nuovo l’abito, e nuovo il fazzoletto. Inizia così "La verità" di Pirandello.

I left Vermont on the most painful day of my life and swore I’d never go back. Meadows Park–the shuttered amusement park that’s been in my family for generations–is the home of all my finest and worst memories. They all star Peter Landry–the best friend I ever had, and the only guy I’ve ever loved. But then my eccentric grandfather buried two million dollars on the property and couldn’t remember where. So I’m back, and asking Peter for help. He’s an Ivy League lawyer now. Still gorgeous, and able to gut me with a single smile.

Three hours later and I've been hired as temporary help in the local veterinary and grooming clinic, which is kind of impressive since I know zip about animals and even less about grooming. But one thing I do know - I'm crushing hard on the sexy, absentminded vet for whom I work.
