The bestselling writer Roberto Emanuelli meets readers tomorrow, June 10, at 6.30 pm in Matera in the Di Giulio bookshop. Roberto will present Now love yourself (Feltrinelli), a novel that has climbed into the top ten of best-selling books in recent weeks.
The protagonists are Clara and Anna, two girls trapped in a toxic relationship. Once again, the Author’s sensitivity and his profound knowledge of the female soul have proven successful for a book that can, in all respects, become a Manifesto of rebirth after harmful relationships. With Clara and Anna, the protagonists, Roberto tells of bonds that become psychologically and physically exhausting and of a tortuous but indispensable path to recover one’s life, to return to respecting one another, to loving one another. To be reborn. And to be happy.
All of us, reading this novel which has a crazy emotional impact, will find ourselves in the dynamics of the protagonists, we will relive the mistakes, the disturbances, that insistent denial of the evidence that does not allow us to get out of dead ends. There is no need for advice from friends, for those who live certain stories there are only a thousand nuances to a clear truth, in a terrible self-deception that can only prolong an unremedied malaise.
Roberto himself claimed to have written Now love yourself so as not to forget the excruciating pain felt “after the betrayal of the person I loved and with whom I thought I would spend the rest of my life”.
Roberto Emanuelli was born and lives in Rome. He made his debut in 2015 with In front of your eyes. His second novel, Then kiss mewas an extraordinary editorial case, followed by Good night to you, You, but forever, Now you know, I wanted to tell you about the stars, When everything seems still And The whole truth, nothing but a lie. Over the years, a huge group of loyal readers has gathered around him.
