Emma Fenu's "La Madre del Vento"
“La madre del vento”, by Emma Fenu, a writer I admire for her talent and lyricism — just think of the beautiful incipit, borrowed from the last words of her husband’s grandmother, “Hold my hand, Mother. Tonight I’m afraid” or, a little further on, the powerful “helichrysum wounded by the sun” — revolves around the figure of Dalida Nissei, a woman who ended up in a mental hospital because she was different, because she was unloved and because she was self-convinced that she was a bearer of death. Her mother Maddalena never loved her, on the contrary, she openly detested her, forcing her not to love herself.

E-readers and digital formats appealed to the readers' everyday lives with ease and low ecological cost.
