La bussola di Noé - Noah's Compass, by Anne Tyler (2009, USA)

Liam is a 60ish teacher, widow and divorced, with three daughters that seem to despise him, with the exception of Kitty, the youngest one, teenager: she comes and live with him. Liam just lost his job, he moved to another flat (staying in Baltimora) and he's thinking of retiring. The first night in the new house, somebody entered his flat and hits him: Liam can't recall anything about that night and he can't stand this. This is the starting point for a series of facts and changes.
