  • CUORE NERO by Silvia Avallone

The only way to reach Sassaia, a tiny village nestled in the mountains, is a very steep dirt road, hidden among the beech trees. It is from there that one day Emilia appears, red and frizzy hair, thin as a stick, a thirty-year-old teenager with purple combat boots and a fluorescent green jacket. From the house next door, Bruno witnesses her arrival as one witnesses an invasion. That woman has a "foreign" accent and a bunch of bags and suitcases: what is she doing up there, far from the rest of the world? When they finally meet, each with their own solitude, in Emilia's eyes - "devoid of light, like two dead stars" - Bruno senses an abyss similar to hers, but of the opposite sign. Both have known evil: he because he suffered it, she because she committed it - an evil for which she paid the price with many years in prison, but which cannot be repaired. Sassaia is their escape point, the only solution to escape a future in which both have stopped believing. But the future arrives and follows its own laws; whether you are guilty or innocent, victim or executioner, time passes and reveals to us what we all are: infinitely fragile, fatally human. With the love that only great authors know how to dedicate to their characters, Silvia Avallone has written her most mature novel, a story of condemnation and salvation that investigates the darkest and deepest cracks of the soul to fill them with compassion, with life and of light.
