This book is not the story of a specific couple, it is a conversation between two people falling in love with one another while they shouldn’t have; here she’s a woman in her 40’s, he’s a young man in his 20’s. “She” might be “he”, or a plural “She”, as well as “he”. But it could be the same situation between two women or two men or any other two people having a complicated relation. It started with “I love you”, and then words started to rush into my head. Things might have been real or not it doesn't matter, what matters is that I wanted to put in words every forbidden emotion -or not- felt. It's about love, about age, about desire, about fantasies and taboos, about the madness and the frailty of passion. It might sound as a one sided conversation, it’s true, but it is a conversation as She imagined him, as She under-stood him or thought She did, it is her point of view, her feelings, her madness. I don’t pretend to be a writer, I’m just a person who feels, a lot, and usually I express those feelings by playing roles, this time it was by writing. I just wrote in my “not so perfect English” what I felt, and I hope that the authenticity of it will touch you. To every person who once told me that I was saying exactly what he feels, thank you, you were the reason why I continued this project. You pushed me further to deal with some of my taboos and my limits and fears. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. |
