Three stories. Three women protagonists who crave freedom. Antagonists three men incapable of fulfilling the role of father. Enrika, the protagonist of the first story, is a Danish woman who embarks on a love affair with James, an Italian man, married with children. When James will know Enrika expecting a child by her, the offer of money, while requesting an abortion and finally released from his life. Enrika will not give the vile and squalid proposal, give birth to the son of father-absent, choosing freedom. Santa, star of the second story, is the daughter of a Sicilian father and godfather. Growing up in silence and in fear of a classic mafia family, will soon be seen by her father forced her to marry a boss overseas. Before and during the trip to the United States of America, will meet the love, the real one, in the person of Tristan. And love, in agreement with her lover, decides to pay with his life the inestimable price of freedom.
Marianeve, star of the third story, is the victim of a father-master who forces her to an absurd and inexplicable segregation. After a series of long years characterized by suffering and denial of life, Marianeve, aided by a contemporary, will be able to fly for freedom.
Freedom, then, is the true star that unites the three stories. A freedom denied, coveted, reached after the crossing of the dark tunnel of pain. The book is also a complaint unconscionable machismo, violence and physical and / or psychological in many families to replace it with. In none of the three stories is the specified time when the events occur. Why Enrika, Santa and Marianeve are women of all time. Their stories are the stories of yesterday, today and tomorrow, unfortunately. The descriptions of the moods and environments in which the events are held long and detailed, but never boring. The three stories, in my opinion, there are those unforgettable, that steal my heart, but certainly not leave the reader unmoved, and led him continually to reflect. The author of the book is
