NOVEL
Following the success of the first two volumes of stories Belli e dannati. Vivere e morire nella Formula 1 degli anni settanta and Belli e dannati 2. Erano giorni che tutti avevano vissuto, Luca Dal Monte returns with Le Ragazze del muretto (The Pit Wall Girls), a narrative work inspired by events that actually occurred.
In the background the Formula 1 of the early Seventies, experienced through the sensitivity of the women, the wives of the champions.
Set in a period in which death was a constant companion in the world of motor racing. The underlying question posed by this book is simple: why do men and women of great sensitivity and proven intelligence accept to live a life like this? And while for the men the answer is also relatively simple, success, fame, money, for the women the issue is more complex, tormented… and captivating.
The pit wall girls is the story of three close couples that unfolds over the course of a racing season, from the spring to the autumn. Three inseparable couple on and off track. The three drivers Jochen Rindt, Jackie Stewart and Piers Courage compete for the World Championship title on circuits across Europe. Their wives, Nina Lincoln, Helen McGregor and Sally Curzon are friends and victims of the situation: they love their companions, hate the job they do, but have accepted to live lives defined by anxiety. Until proven otherwise. And until fate knocks on the door of each of them.
