Elide has learned how to survive: a job that no longer moves her, a finished love she can’t seem to let go of, an orderly life that slowly suffocates her. Until one evening, in an almost empty bar, she meets Fabiola — young, disarming, and full of wounds she doesn’t bother to hide. Between them, a bond is born that is both light and storm, desire and fear. As they begin to recognize themselves in each other’s fragilities, Elide understands that in order to be reborn she must face the hardest promise of all: choosing herself, even when loving means letting go. Promettimi is a novel about the kind of love that heals and destroys, about the freedom to rewrite one’s own story, and the courage not to remain still before fear. A story of women, truth, and rebirth — written with the delicacy of poetry and the force of a confession.
