Book presentation with Author at Bibliocoop “La bella virtù” by Marisa Salabelle

A sequel to “The Gears of Memories,” in these pages young Felice and Maria Ausilia return to the period of their engagement and then long marriage. While their daughter Carla reenacts her father’s illness and death, Kevin, her son, a university student, devotes his master’s thesis to the vicissitudes of his maternal grandfather’s family, reconstructing interweavings between more or less noble lineages in the Neapolitan and Avellino areas and investigating the kinship link between his grandfather Felice and the saintly Giuseppe Moscati. In this new installment of a family saga that unravels in the period between the postwar period and the present day, through multiple narrative voices, we will get to know more and more deeply the characters of this powerful and skillful fresco. Once again Marisa Salabelle succeeds in constructing an epic of affections that is fascinating and rich in depth.
