It comes back to life, it must be born again. Somewhere, from someone. Sometimes the most unlikely places and unthinkable. This is one of the keys to understanding, perhaps the most "strong", this beautiful reading, different, quite original, which gives us Lucia Ravera, not unrelated to writing, for work and for passion, already the author of a novel and an essay. Is the original point of view, that is indeed what the main character who tells his story to the reader, but leaving your body interpretation and narration of emotions; are we not made of body and soul? Do they not have the disease, almost always, a key psychosomatic? The emotional thoughts, instead, have relied on free verse, very beautiful, often at the conclusion of the short chapters. But, first of all, original writing of this novel, backed by a remote past effective and powerful, rich in metaphors, at times lyrical also narrated parts, light but elegant even when he tells the despair. This is the story of a necessary path, which moves from a silence born wrong to protect themselves and, miserably finished to reveal, however, that there are silences that can do more harm the truth more difficult; a path that turns pain into an achievement, because the living is given to forgive and forgive, to the dead - and who give up - no. Sometimes the wounds sanino erratically - seems to say the Ravera -, different and unexpected, and sometimes even with salt, that burns and seems to make it worse. Up to, slowly, the landing, to discover "the beauty that blends under the layer of ordinariness." To read, to get excited.
