In the wake of the great success of the Belli e dannati stories, Luca Dal Monte returns with Le ragazze del Muretto, a narrative work inspired by true events.
The background is Formula 1 in the early 1970s, experienced through the sensibility of women, the wives of champions. Set in a time when death was a constant in the racing world, the question that runs through this book is simple:
why do men and women of great sensibility and proved intelligence accept to lead this life?
And if for men the answer is relatively simple - success, fame, money - for women the question is more complex, troubled… and fascinating.
Le ragazze del muretto is the story of three close couples that unfolds over a racing season, from spring to autumn. Three inseparable couples on and off the track.
The three drivers Jochen Rindt, Jackie Stewart and Piers Courage battle on tracks across Europe for the title of World Champion. Their wives, Nina Lincoln, Helen McGregor and Sally Curzon, are both friends and victims of this situation: they love their partners, hate the work they do, but have accepted to live a life marked by angst.
Until proven otherwise. And until fate knocks on each of their door….
