This is the kind of book every reader – and every publisher – is always looking for: the one you can’t put down and won’t stop talking about after you’ve finished it. And the readers can’t help but follow them eagerly, captivated by Recchia’s brilliant writing and by the way she masters a plot that covers a 30-year span and several main characters – all wonderfully portrayed. This is what happens to the characters in Roberta Recchia’s novel: they struggle through the pages until they find that courage. No matter how much you’ve suffered, or how hard your life’s been: if you don’t accept the truth, if you don’t look it in the eyes and find the courage to say it out loud, you can’t go on. But this is also a novel about the complexity of evil, which reminds us of how vulnerable we are. I would like those who read it to find, between the pages, emotions and feelings that belong to them, that perhaps they had forgotten, or new ones to discover as it happened to me with the books I most loved. It’s a novel about memory, love, and hope that, despite the pain, gives meaning to who we are. Looking through its pages, I see traces of things that have been part of my life or that I have been missing. This is a story that resembles the box of photographs in which, in the end, Marisa Ansaldo finds the meaning of her existence. I collect fragments that become sharper and sharper as I bind them together while my fingers run on the keyboard. I have always imagined myself as a tool to narrate something that has already existed, somewhere, in another time, and is just waiting to be told. I always write following an instinct, trying to put order in the chaos of stories, voices, and faces that inhabit my head.
