La Panzanella - ovvero Carlotta Cordelli, discendenza fieramente partenopea, un corpo in trasformazione, un magma di pensieri onirico e torrenziale - si vede brutta e sgraziata ma, implacabile, si muove a tentoni verso "bellezza e amore".

Marocco ha quattordici anni e vive con il padre a Soccavo, un quartiere di Napoli. La madre li ha abbandonati qualche anno prima, senza dare più notizie di sé, e lui vive quell'assenza come una ferita aperta, un dolore sordo che non dà pace. Frequenta il liceo con pessimi risultati e le sue giornate ruotano attorno agli allenamenti e alle trasferte: insieme a Gioiello, Fusco e Petrone è infatti una giovane promessa del calcio, ma nemmeno le vittorie sul campo riescono a placare la rabbia e il senso di vuoto che prova dentro.

Enrico Vallesi è un uomo intrappolato in un destino paradossale. Un giorno decide di salire su un treno e tornare nella città dove è cresciuto.

Con una scrittura lieve e tagliente l'autore ci guida fra le storie e la psicologia dei personaggi, in un romanzo di formazione alla vita e alla violenza che è anche un racconto sulla passione per le idee e per le parole, un'implacabile riflessione sulla natura sfuggente del successo e del fallimento, una inattesa storia d'amore.

'Tu, mio' è un racconto di superamento della cosiddetta 'linea d'ombra', centrato sul passaggio dai privilegi dell'adolescenza alla ruvidezza della maturità.
