The women's book label finds its proper promotional location in this issue. It already happened to me in the case of An imperfect familyby Pepa Roma. It is something that I do not quite understand. Literature is for everyone, according to taste, nothing more.
Anyway, commercial arguments aside, in this novel prostitute we are presented with a singular mystery plot. A historical mystery that we will know through a posthumous letter. Alessia, the recipient of the letter in question is a middle-aged woman in an existential crisis. Her personal failure goes hand in hand with a declining job performance, a dramatic situation that the protagonist handles as best she can.
But that letter begins by animating it and ends by transforming it. In the written testimony of her grandmother Ornella, Alessia knows her reasons for her family estrangement. And it is that Ornella walked absorbed in the trail of Alonza de Pietro, an ancestor who dedicated herself to the profession of prostitute and who was regularly claimed by great personalities of the time, XNUMXth century.
Alessia proceeds in the same way as her grandmother and embarks on an investigation that turns out to be vital. And curiously, in the process of searching for passage through the world of Alonza de Pietro, Alessia finds herself.
Little by little it is discovered how her ancestor harbored great secrets, and in a world of men, with the burden of her profession, she knew how to find her place and set a destination for herself in freedom. Alessia feels her heart beat like Alonza's. Freed from her previous circumstances and feeling immensely alive, the protagonist will learn that there can always be room for a new love, both in Alonza's life and in her own.
