DIMMI DI TE

Chiara Gamberale

A novel about a most extraordinary and terrifying endeavour: accepting who we are and what we've become.

Almost by accident, Chiara becomes a mother and moves with her daughter to a neighbourhood for functional families who follow rules she had always rejected. Used to living like an eternal emotional teenager eager for excitement and strong feelings, she can no longer stand this fictitious calm: soon she is unable to work, love or have faith in the future. When she runs into a friend she has not seen since high school, she comes up with an idea: to contact all the people she once admired and ask them how they got on with their life. She tracks down the most popular girl in school, the rebellious school captain and the good guy... With each encounter, her investigation becomes more surprising, as past and present intertwine, until she is confronted with a terrible truth that she has been avoiding for too long. Chiara Gamberale's most touching novel, a hymn to emotions and to the mystery of adulthood. Chiara Gamberale Born in 1977, she lives in Rome. In 1999 she published her first novel: Una vita sottile, followed, among others, by Le luci nelle case degli altri (Mondadori 2010) and the bestsellers Per dieci minuti (Feltrinelli 2013), L'isola dell'abbandono (Feltrinelli, 2019), Il grembo paterno (2021). Her novels have been translated in many languages. She writes for "La Stampa", "Vanity Fair", "Donna Moderna", "IO Donna" and "Grazia".

A powerful and moving novel. Chiara Gamberale tells of bonds across time, those in the making, those lost. Children growing up - Gamberale is the best writer to talk about motherhood: unhinged, enlightened

"Chiara Gamberale has written a great novel about a claim: I can be a single mother without ceasing to be a woman, I can be a woman without ceasing to be a girl who seeks magic, amazement, adventure, who still does not resign herself to habit, I can be a single mother who is a writer because she loves encounters, risks, and the people who make them possible and essential."

Chiara Gamberale has written a great novel about a claim: I can be a single mother without ceasing to be a woman, I can be a woman without ceasing to be a girl who seeks magic, wonder, adventure, who still does not resign herself to habit, I can be a single mother who is a writer because she loves encounters, risks, and the people who make them possible and unrenounceable.

"Dimmi di te is about love, about friendship, about family, about being mothers (and fathers) and children... but most of all it is a novel about finding acceptance by facing the world without fear."
