Gabriella Vittoria Romano - Isole
And then the Island as a location where to go to when you are hurting, a place which transforms <<into a soothing medicine the poison which otherwise would have consumed my soul >>.
The pain of the 4 women in these stories is consequently autobiographic and not only imaginary, the attempted rape, an abortion, the death of a father in a raging fire, the visions of past tragedies…. We have all experienced great pains, events which wreck you and force you to find refuge on an Island a long distance away from everything and everyone
Natalio Mangalavite
For this reason the author’s desire is to transform the individual islands into a universal archipelago.
<<Because I strongly feel that only love has the ability to contain all the pain in the world …. The constant and coherent thought from the beginning to the end is that life is wonderful!>>.The book finishes with a phrase which encompasses its significance <<With sisterly love>>.
