Tuttavia adesso ha perso il suo tocco magico, perché la vita – quella reale – non è certo come lei la racconta nei suoi libri. Da tempo, infatti, il marito la tradisce con una donna molto più giovane di lei e, sebbene lo ami ancora alla follia, Orla non può più sopportare il peso di quell’umiliazione, finita persino sulle prime pagine dei giornali di gossip.
