Béni soit le père

Rate this book
Un roman puissant sur les blessures du passé et la force du pardon. Rosa est née dans le quartier de San Nicola, l'un des plus pauvres de Bari. Parmi les maisons blanches bordant d'étroites ruelles qui courent vers la mer, la violence règne. Et chez Rosa, c'est son père, " Gueule d'ange ", qui fait régner la terreur. Au sortir de l'adolescence, elle rencontre Marco et, avec lui, la promesse d'un nouveau départ. Elle l'épouse et le suit à Rome, où elle donne naissance à Giulia, leur petite fille. Mais, très vite, l'histoire se répète et Rosa comprend que Marco n'est pas celui qu'elle croyait.
Quand sa mère tombe malade, la jeune femme n'a d'autre choix que de retourner sur les lieux de son enfance pour replonger dans son passé, affronter sa haine pour son père et, peut-être, emprunter le chemin du pardon.

Une histoire dure à lire, très prenante. L’histoire m’a littéralement traversé … une fois ouvert, vous ne le fermez plus avant la dernière page. ❤️
