Wednesday 20th SeptemberI arrive at Zia’s a few minutes after three. No sign of Adriano. But Provvi and Angelina are there already drinking tea and tucking into strawberry jam tarts. It is clear that Provvi has been knocked about again. She is talking about a big gash above her eye. She tells us that she thought she needed some stitches, but she hadn’t gone to A&E otherwise they’d have started asking questions. Poking their noses into her business. Making things worse for her. Instead she called a nurse, loosely related to her, who went to Provvi’s home, when her husband wasn’t in. The nurse didn’t ask questions and did her job of sewing in a few stitches.
Provvi is at her wit’s end. She is worried about her children. Giulio has also threatened to kill her. Something he hasn’t done before
