A Great Love Story

A Great Love Story Book Description Time is nothing but a crumb of Eternity, and if we do not lift our gaze from this crumb, we will never be able to experience the intensity of a life that is not afraid of death. Brought together by seas, winds and rains; Two people scattered and united by time: Edith and Andrea. One of them is Andrea, who is in love with the sea and has an orderly life. The other is Edith, who is passionate about the mountains, has never lost her curiosity about life and the world, and is in search of high ideals and perfection. Andrea is consumed with the uneasiness of the missing particle in the gray structure of the perfect life, while Edith persistently rejects the idea of taking refuge in a safe harbor while struggling with a stormy sea. However, nothing will ever be the same for these two people, whom life brings together with its usual surprise. Because isn't life sometimes about sailing into calm oceans, resisting the wind or sometimes deciding to blow with it, being agitated in a hurricane, sometimes covering the fog like a blanket, being held captive by water or untying the knots in your soul on the roads? In this novel, Susanna Tamaro invites the reader to think together about the most fundamental issues and concerns of humanity such as life, love, grief, fate, mourning and loss, while wandering around the boundaries of the male-female relationship, parent-child relationship, light and darkness, reality and uncertainty.
