Congratulations, Ioanna, for your warm approach to such a harsh reality in a society where the female identity always exists “behind” and “behind” and “behind”…
* A book that makes the reader think about whether there is a way forward for a world that does not even "listen" to its own child, does not reward it but literally "steps on it"
*Contempt, love, jealousy, frivolity, submission to character analysis and human life constantly presented under the shadow of death
* Words, paragraphs, facts written to teach empathy
*You present the elements of psychological violence in human existence in an exemplary manner, in a way that can well stand as "advice" from a psychologist, to exemplify cruel and unjust people.
*A book that is food for thought, every paragraph a call for empathy in human existence
*An example to follow is the writer-human Ioanna Lazarou who seals love and how love is seen through cruel loss or how love is hidden behind violence and emotions emerge that wither and slowly kill the human mind and you think as a reader that you are lucky to have known love
*Shocking events written elaborately in narrative lines that concern and commit you to immediately continue reading... probably not, it's not about reading, it doesn't let you do simple reading, but it has a way of flowing that makes you want to come back, reread and study phrases that are like "bitter rosehip"...
*What beauty and what sensitivity can be gained from the ashes of the violence of the tragic events that the author recounts to us with rich emotion and together with the current peak in cases of violence against women in our society only to create concern?
*A timely punch to the stomach that only has anxiety for the continuation of the story-melody of emotions!!!
–with special appreciation and love, to the Greek woman of Florida
and fascinated by the pen of Ioanna Lazarou, I can't wait...
