Come d’aria

by D'Adamo, Ada
Come d’aria

Daria is the daughter, whose destiny has been marked since her birth by a missed diagnosis. Ada is the mother, who, on the threshold of her fifties, discovers she is ill. This discovery becomes an opportunity for her to address her daughter directly and tell their story. Everything passes through the bodies of Ada and Daria: daily struggles, anger, secrets, but also unexpected joys and moments of infinite tenderness. The words traverse time, in a constant interweaving of past and present. A story of extraordinary power and truth, in which every moment lived is offered to the reader as a gift.
