The Confessions Of A Concubine Roberta Mezzabarba

Someday you will be happy, but not before life has taught you to be strong.

An intense, emotionally strong, rhythmically lilting novel. A story about domestic violence and psychological abuse that will make you sick.
A story about a young woman called Misia and her monochromatic life that will gradually grow darker. Such a dark tone smells like sadness, fear and mourning. When a rising spiral of violence develops and the situation seems to have become irremediable and impossible to tolerate, the solution seems to be obvious. But sometimes life can be surprising, which may not adequately recompense the wrongs we have suffered, but, as time passes, may dampen still existing edges, let us see an unexpected glimmer of hope and mitigate memories. Each of us deserves a colourful life. Each of us is worthy of being the architect of her own destiny, without succumbing any longer, in order to be free to love and love herself.
