Summary

Alba de Cespedes: The Forbidden Notebook

How unhappy can we be without noticing it? And if we notice - then what?

Valeria has always considered herself happy: a devoted mother, a good wife, a responsible employee, a devoted housewife. However, writing a diary makes her realize that in the sea of ​​roles she played for others, she forgot about the main one - she forgot who Valeria was. The spontaneous decision to buy a black notebook turns into an obsession with writing, through which the heroine becomes more aware of herself and her relationships with others. All conflicts in one family, tense and strained relations between mother and daughter, sister and brother, husband and wife; the distance from her partner and the possibility of adultery fall mercilessly on the heroine, who is too tired to both face and escape. In the gap between the traditional understanding of the role of a woman, in which Valeria feels safe and close to her, and the modern idea of ​​freedom, which frightens the heroine, lies the plot of The Forbidden Notebook, a novel that, with its emotional and intellectual maturity, permanently changed Italian prose in the 1950s.
