Synopsis

The first time she didn't recognize him, they were sitting next to each other. She turned to him and asked who he was, in the same tone she uses when asking for a candy. From that day on, Marco found himself faced with a new mother, one who is losing her memory but not her sense of humor. And if love is always made up of nuances, gestures, and even omissions, the love between a mother with Alzheimer's and the son who cares for her can be a new, thorny, creative, and stubborn love unlike any other. I cura cari is a poetic novel, or rather a novel-punch and a novel-caress, capable of moving us and making us smile in the same line. A book of love, written by someone who found herself without a compass and searched for a way to tell her story, conveying a rare form of serenity and reconciliation with life. "From the outside, everything seems normal: the surname on the door, the golden bell, an old umbrella stand, and a doormat with the word Welcome written on it. Inside is a parallel reality where things cease to be things. With those animated things, with those living things, she speaks to us.".
