ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The long-awaited new novel by Juan Arcones: a beautiful story about a summer love we all dream of experiencing once in a lifetime.

Gaspar is seventeen years-old and is going to spend the summer in Santino, a small country in northern Italy. But instead of lounging on the beach all day, he will have to work as a gardener's assistant at the royal palace.

The days are hot and go by very slowly until he has an unfortunate encounter with a boy who gets on his nerves: Luca Calliveri, the heir to the throne in Santino, who has never left the palace and who has lived completely oblivious to the rest of the world, without anyone to call a friend... until Gaspar abruptly appears in his life.
