Sinopse

In *The Silence of Lovers*, the stories are punctuated by family conflicts, loneliness, the search for meaning in life, resentment, misunderstanding, but also magic and love in relationships. The lack of communication between people who love each other results in tragedies and lives haunted by guilt, but it also opens our eyes to new possible paths. "This is the thread that unites the narratives. The lack of communication, the silence when we should speak and the words when we should have kept quiet: but we didn't know. It's part of the human drama," explains the author. A couple overcomes the pain of the past and finds a new, unique path; routine blinds us to the drama of those around us; hurt and anger explode into a violent liberation; prejudice against differences can be deadly; superficiality prevents us from experiencing true love; death reveals the value of life: we are all touched by mystery. "It's a book also full of poetic flow, a wealth of symbolism, always seeking beauty and mystery, even when telling human stories. Because that's how I see life," she says. With courage and delicacy, Lya Luft encourages us to see our daily lives through a new lens, sensing the unpredictability that enriches it. "Being human, with all the misery and grandeur that this entails, isn't just about needing support and consolation, but also about seeing, beneath the surface and behind the walls, new possibilities for living and relating," says Lya.
