Medicine is the penultimate story of the Christmas collection at Silver Street edited by Einaudi in 2005, written by Michel Faber, who recalls the character of William Rackham, the male protagonist of the book The Creepy Petal and White. / p> Tramamodifies wikitesto
William Rackham, sitting at the desk of his home, now almost empty and sad, recalls his past. His mind almost speaks only of Sugar, the prostitute who, many years before, in his words ruined his life. First he crammed against William's wife, Agnes, making her go crazy, then she was not happy with taking her daughter away, Sophie. William, after this misfortune, has resumed with Constance, a woman who does not particularly like him and who has not been able to give him a new heir. William's business does not go as well as it used to be when it was his precious Sugar to advise and guide him. William, after having drunk a lot of alcohol, falls from the chair, and before being helped by the maid and his wife, imagine that the first person ready to help him is Sugar himself, and admits with himself that the girl misses her so much terribly. All this lasts but very little, the time that William resumes the senses, he realizes that his beloved prostitute is not there and will never come back again, and then the man goes back to work.
