Michela Buonagura underlines in the preface, among other things, the following: “The title chosen for this collection of short stories, An infinite carmine sea, is a metaphor for a field of poppies, a symbol of freedom, as the simple flower of the fields, if imprisoned in a vase, withers, but it is also the flower of consolation, what writing represents for Adelina Mauro. Attention to the world of affections, to life, with its joys and sorrows, is the cornerstone of the stories and engages them in a universal feeling that the haste of the contemporary world seems to have set aside ».
Adelina Mauro specifies that the writer Michela Buonagura, “He has grasped the facets of my writing that turns his gaze to the observation of the world I have lived and to the current one that surrounds me, to the memories from which I start for the incipit of a story, to then continue and dwell on the characters, the setting: the body of the story “.
Every moment is marked by a strong intensity.
The delicate narratives fish in deep feelings
It is fundamentally a heartfelt, decisive and precise writing.
The sensitivity of Adelina Mauro it is combined with a perceived spirituality.
Connecting your heart in empathy with others is by no means easy.
Readers are attracted by an expository goodness, which tries to hook openly cautious existential profiles.
The author does not fail to detail contradictions and tries to contain her spring expressiveness to attract attention.
Being able to “enclose” all the dimensions of existence is clearly problematic, but the effort is made to draw up evocative plans and future counter-plans.
The writer intends with appropriate cuts to tell the pitfalls of life and happy moments.
It is a pleasant book, corroborated by soft passages.
Reading flows pleasantly and allows us to grasp further sedimentations.
The charge of humanity that permeates this writing gives us existential accents.
Everything develops on a worthy memory, which substantiates calibrated crossings in sustained perceptive dimensions.
These are stories that mainly speak of women, their ability to take care, but also of a negative daily life from drugs to toxic love, from Covid to Alzheimer’s, from cancer….
