«The idea came from Camillo, an old van purchased just a stone’s throw from being scrapped», he explains Elena Molini. «People have been asking me to bring our bookshop concept to their cities for a long time. I decided to restore the van and make it a “Literary first aid”, where the book is not only a pleasant way to pass the time, but a tool for well-being and care. I am organizing a tour that will also take me in small townsthose where bookstores struggle to be born and grow and often we are forced to rely on the big online giants».
«We like to think that our tour this summer could be a positive example for those who want to invest and open bookstores in all those places where there aren’t any”, says Elena. Even in the book Blu, the protagonist will open a small bookstore in the countryside, to start again after a period of crisis and take his second chance.
«The title has precisely this meaning – continues the author – all the protagonists of the book are looking for another possibility, which can come at any age, even when we no longer hope for it. In the Blue Book he returns to his country of origin and, even if at the beginning it may be considered a failure, in life often to move forward you need to do step back».
