Niente può fermarla. Perché scrivere è la sua missione. E solo i libri possono indicarle la strada. Per Vani Sarca fare la ghostwriter è il lavoro ideale. Non solo perché le permette di restarsene chiusa in casa a scrivere, in compagnia dei suoi libri e lontano dal resto dell’umanità, per la quale non prova grande simpatia. Ma soprattutto perché così può sfruttare al meglio il suo dono di capire al volo le persone, di anticipare i loro pensieri, di ricreare il loro stile di scrittura. Una capacità intuitiva innata che fa molto comodo all'editore per cui Vani lavora.
