In her debut novel in Brazil, \"The Seven Lives of Love,\" Carla D. Alessio proves, through agile writing and numerous literary quotations, that love is too great to fit into a single life, and that black cats aren't always a sign of bad luck. When released in Italy, it quickly became required reading for young and old alike. Seven days before Christmas, Ada, while confessing her sins and dissatisfactions to the priest, encounters the ambiguous gaze of a black Persian cat at the priest's feet. Unbeknownst to her, she finds herself stealing the feline and taking it home. Thus, Bemot, the cat stolen from the sacristy, is destined to witness the story's unfolding plot, while the protagonists endure difficult situations and are forced to face a new beginning. This is what happens to Ada, who tries to love herself, abandoning the years of neglect and indifference that have marked her life until then. Or Gilda, constantly searching for someone to compensate for her failed motherhood; Nina, who has the strong body of an athlete but the fears of a teenager; Mara, an aggressive lawyer who nevertheless stumbles upon love; the frivolous Bea; and finally, Zoja, who moved from Ukraine to Italy trying to improve her life. Against the backdrop of a Naples far removed from commonplaces, Carla D'Alessio crafts a breathtaking comedy, full of coincidences, bittersweet, and yet funny, typically Italian. A moving and exquisite story, because love—even when it seems to have lost all excitement, when it only scratches—has much more than just one life. It has seven lives. “A pleasant book, a quick and enjoyable read, that leaves, even long after finishing, a feeling of discovery and serenity.” (SoloLibri) “Characters that seem real in a story that convinces with the simple and direct language of a plot that aims, above all, to lay bare the soul of each person.” (Le Stanze di Alba)","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159772119292,"sku":"9788528617764","price":59.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/c3093ffd12133a4eb31447ba53e14677.jpg?v=1778320998"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/carla-alessio.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
