Tutto l’amore di una fotografia bruciata

Tutto l’amore di una fotografia bruciata punta i riflettori sulla relazione fra tre generazioni di donne che hanno modi diversi e incompatibili di vedere il mondo. La famiglia, con il suo equilibrio precario viene scossa dall’improvviso ricovero della più anziana fra le tre. Timori paralizzanti prendono forma all’approssimarsi della morte. Affiorano alla luce i rispettivi meccanismi di difesa, in particolare il modo in cui ognuna di loro si fa parassita nella vita delle altre in nome del senso del dovere e dell’amore materno. Leia, presa tra due fuochi, è quella che registra i cambiamenti, che setaccia la realtà, si sforza di trascriverla e di darle un senso, quella che cerca una via di salvezza e che negozia costantemente la propria identità nel tentativo di scoprire scoprire cosa resta di lei oltre al ruolo di figlia e madre.

La rinnegata

A story of three generations of women, their courage and search for independence in the face of superstition and prejudice, in the spirit of Natalia Ginzburg and Elena Ferrante. In this striking debut, based on a true story, Valeria Usala bears witness to an age-old story of violence against women and takes us into the heart of rural Sardinia, where superstitions and cruelty coexist with the joys and companionship of a tight-knit community. Teresa runs a shop and a tavern. But not even the family she has created with the man she loves can protect her from the malicious gossip of jealous locals, who are threatened by her independence. Her own mother, Maria, was made an outcast, and now Teresa is in turn forsaken by the villagers. Will she pay for her success with her life? Is she like a character in Greek tragedy, whose destiny is inevitable? A story that gives voice to the forgotten women of Sardinia—and to the one of women everywhere.
