Read Bormio
The Civic Library of Bormio, in collaboration with the Department of Culture, organizes "A Mountain of Words - Read Bormio", a series of meetings with various authors.
Reading and discussion of the book "Con il sole in fronte" (With the Sun on My Forehead) by Simona Monti published by Bertoni.
Storyline
On a magical summer night, a man meets a woman and she gives him the gift of her own story. It is in this way that the reader is initiated into the knowledge of Isabelle, the protagonist of this novel, a woman who, in a journey also studded with shadows, has always chosen the light. Each is her own narrative, and the process of unravelling that Isabelle makes of herself, with the many facets that belong to her, ultimately returns a luminous personality vibrant with life, capable of overcoming obstacles, drawing on her own inner energy. Isabelle, through the story, creates herself as a woman and finds herself, and we who read are part of this realisation and remain involved in it. Simona Monti's prose often encounters poetry, almost evoking the movement of sea waves that, with each flow, know how to leave a new gift on the shoreline. The reader will be able to pick up the precious cues and make them his own as if they were precious shells surprised on the shoreline.
