Io+sono+di+legno

IO SONO DI LEGNO "Io sono di legno", a novel by Giulia Carcasi, is the story of a mother and a daughter who can't talk each other, like they were two pieces of wood. The narration is from both points of view, the mother's Giulia and the daughter's Mia point of view. The two women seem so confident, that they are sure not to be wrong in any case. Mia keeps a diary where she writes how her days go on, but not a name, not an established relationship, because she thinks that nowadays people can not believe to the existence of Santa Claus and Princes and Kingdoms. Giulia lives in silence, she is not able to talk to her daughter; so she reads Mia's diary, and a day she decides to answer to Mia's diary, to let her know how her mother was when she was young. She writes about herself and her life severely afflicted by the selfishness of a false family who saw in her a quite unsuccessful person. The more Giulia's story comes to the surface, the more secrets have to be revealed. But a real contact between the two can be reached only facing the real situation, that is stopping writing and starting talking, because the wood is tough, but if drenched, it becomes a little more tender.
