With over a million copies sold and a sharp, innovative script, Fabio Volo's "The Time I Wanted" arrives in Brazil. A moving story about life and the infinite love a person can feel for their ex, and about his struggle, courage, and strength to rebuild family ties. Lorenzo doesn't know how to love, or simply doesn't know how to show it. The book presents his battle to change this situation. To achieve this, the author alternates between flashbacks of the protagonist's childhood and the sadness at the end of a great love affair with a woman, whose name will only be revealed at the end of the book. What Lorenzo wants most in life is to repair his relationship with his absent father and win back his beloved. The characters, phrases, and words found in the book are like bridges that allow you to move from where you are to where you want to go, and it's almost always a bridge between your old self and the new one that awaits you. By the end of *The Time I Wanted*, the reader will be convinced that he could have been the author of the novel, since he intensely experienced the same feelings, read the same books, watched the same films, and loved the same women. With *The Time I Wanted*, Fabio Volo surpasses all Italian or foreign bestselling authors. His secret? Being a reflection of the common man.
