Verdigris by Michele Mari
Set against the backdrop of a decaying mansion, the narrative unfolds through the eyes of a young boy who becomes entranced by the mysterious allure of his surroundings. As he explores the labyrinthine corridors and forgotten rooms, he encounters a series of enigmatic characters, each with their own secrets and stories. The boy's journey is one of discovery and introspection, as he grapples with themes of memory, loss, and the passage of time, all while the verdigris-covered walls seem to whisper the echoes of the past.
