Thoughts and pictures in his head gathered as birds do in autumn's empty sky. Explore the mind of a dreamer, as he explores himself. His love, philosophies, passions, his past, his present and his future. We share his innermost thoughts and secrets as he paints for us vivid mind pictures of clandestine love and heartfelt beliefs through the slow, but all too brief, passing of time. There is a fluidity here, in this mind, and as you read, you will be carried with the current, with the ebb and flow of this curious work.
Even if it starts off as a kind of a Romeo and Juliet story, with two lovers being forced to hide from their families and being separated by their different circumstances, it unveils as something entirely different. In a series of letters that the unnamed He writes to an unnamed Her, not even knowing if she’ll even read them, we discover a beautiful internal world of thoughts, passions, pains, struggles and hopes that make up a lifetime, each and every one of them a little piece of art, the art that they both so admire. A chance meeting after a whole lifetime spent apart, a lifetime that brought them both a lot of pain, brings them the comfort of knowing a once-in-a-lifetime kind of love, the kind that can keep you alive through anything, even if it can only exist beyond the boundaries of time, space, circumstance. This wonderfully written short novella will rock you with its fine language as much as with its huge heart and emotion, and find you wishing you had that kind of rare meeting of souls in your life too. Don’t miss it!
"Lucida Intervalla" delicately weaves a tale of two souls discovering themselves through the timeless art of letters. As they embark on a journey of self-reflection and growth, finding solace and connection in the spaces between their words. A poignant exploration of identity and understanding that lingers in the reader's mind, long after the letters have been read.
It was recommended to me by a dear friend, and the book did not disappoint. Written wonderfully, the flow of the letters left me in awe. A great piece to read while pondering over a troubled love or perhaps while greeting the morning Autumn sun. Warmly recommend it.
