Le due vite di Floria by Laura Martínez Belli

“A glance from above on the small town of Otrora is enough to understand that there, more than anywhere else, nature holds man in its embrace and sets the pace for a peaceful community. Especially in the garden of Manrique and Ifigenia, born as a son of their love. The couple, however, cannot have real children, they try them all and ultimately rely on the magic of the healer Teòfila. So finally little Floria arrives, a gift of fate. The child grows up, half woman and half plant, divided between the instinct to know men and to sink one's roots in the earth. It is the crucial stages of life, adolescence and the arrival of motherhood, that ignite the conflict between its two souls.”
