Description
The long wooden shutters of the Casa Luna, bolted against heat and crime, were flung open, and the light of a new day flooded in.
Pia turned her back to it and began to sweep. There was always dust: dust from the ancient, crumbling plaster, dust from the great, dark oak beams of the ceiling, dust from long-forgotten visitors and dust from the bone- white roads of the country.
As Pia's plump figure bent and stretched, a fine cloud of glittering motes rose, swarming, as if alive. She knew they'd be back, as they always were, but she captured what she could with her broom.
But the Casa Luna is a place where strange things happen and anyone who lives there risks unexpected joys and sorrows.
