2017brossura Quando l'astrofisico Solovi scompare, lascia dietro di sé una serie di fondamentali scoperte ottenute in una brillante carriera di uomo di scienza, non ultima una serie di intuizioni che lo hanno aiutato a costruire il migliore degli strumenti per l'esplorazione dello spazio profondo. Non lascia che un vuoto di informazioni, tuttavia, sulla sua vita personale, e una sfilza di quesiti irrisolti. Perché ha compiuto - se davvero lo ha compiuto - un gesto così estremo come il suicidio? Quanto c'era di vero nella convinzione che Solovi avesse vissuto una vita appagante, invece di combattere contro una solitudine devastante, incolmabile, più vasta ancora dello spazio inesplorato? Forse non resta che l'opzione del rimpianto per aver perduto un uomo che ha dato tanto al mondo e che il mondo non si è dato pena di ricompensare. Ma ancora oggi risulta impossibile credere che una persona geniale, piena di risorse, eclettica come Solovi non abbia lasciato neanche un messaggio, andandosene.
1999[Harlequin Intrigue Series # 532]Nurse Abby Chance recognized her patient on a soggy, country road just before he collapsed of exhaustion. She brought Zach Andros to her weekend getaway cabin, but hadn't expected to become stranded with a man too tormented by memories for his own good-and too sexy for hers. Someone had staged a murder, knocked Zach out cold and them cast him as the prime suspect! Although he couldn't tell Abby exactly what had happened that night, she instinctively believed in him. Within her arms he found comfort, and in her bed, exquisite passion. Yet, by allowing her into his world, had Zach compromised her safety? For if he didn't discover who'd set him up, his freedom was forfeit and so was Abby's life. 249p.(Freda Vasilos and Tina Vasilos are pseudonyms of Freda Vasilopoulos,a Canadian writer) Book
2015brossura Il libro narra la storia di Maria, una giovane donna del sud emigrata, con il marito Michele e il piccolo figlio Luigi, a Torino in cerca di un lavoro e di un futuro migliore. Purtroppo le sue aspettative vengono ben presto disattese: per vivere Maria è costretta a fare la donna delle pulizie e la sua esistenza è caratterizzata da privazioni e umiliazioni. La vita di Maria diviene rapidamente un incubo a causa dei maltrattamenti di Michele che sfociano gradualmente in una vera e propria violenza fisica e psicologica. Michele, disoccupato cronico, sfoga sulla moglie tutte le proprie frustrazioni fino a quando, spinto dal facile guadagno, entra a far parte di un'organizzazione criminale dedita allo spaccio di droga. Da questo momento la vita di Maria diventa insostenibile, costretta a convivere con un marito aguzzino che la costringe anche a fare la prostituta. Le vicende che si susseguono sono altamente drammatiche. L'esistenza della protagonista viene sconvolta e soltanto Massimo, il padre di una compagna di classe di Luigi, poliziotto presso la Narcotici, cerca, anche spinto da un sentimento amoroso, di dare un po' di sostegno psicologico alla donna. La storia prenderà una piega inaspettata e Maria, privata di ogni forma di giustizia, alla fine sarà costretta ad assumere una decisione sofferta ma inevitabile.

2018br. Sopprimere, ovvero recidere ogni legame con l'altro per volontà personale e annientare il suo cuore attraverso l'indifferenza, l'abbandono, la fuga e quant'altro. È il tema che ossessiona da qualche tempo la scrittrice Suzuki Tamaki, al punto tale da farne l'oggetto del romanzo che ha in animo di scrivere, intitolato L'indecenza. L'ossessione le è sorta il fatidico giorno in cui ha aperto le pagine de "L'innocenza", un romanzo degli anni Cinquanta in cui il celebre autore, Midorikawa Mikio, narra con disarmante sincerità di X, la sua amante, e la ritrae come l'origine di tutti i mali della sua famiglia, colei che ha fatto si che Chiyoko, sua moglie, si perdesse totalmente nei meandri bui della follia a causa della sua violenta gelosia. Quando si imbatte in alcune vecchie immagini di Midorikawa in compagnia di una ragazza, Ishikawa Motoko, credendo di poter dare un nome alla misteriosa X de "L'innocenza", Tamaki si ritrova al cospetto della donna, ormai sessantaquattrenne. Pelle luminosa, guance rosee e neanche l'ombra di una ruga intorno agli occhi, Motoko ha un volto da eterna ragazza cosi bello e irreale da sembrare un essere venuto da un altro mondo. La sua confessione sgomenta Tamaki: Midorikawa l'ha sedotta che era appena una graziosa e incantevole fanciulla, ha piantato le tende in casa sua per ben sei anni esasperando il suo desiderio, poi quando lei è cresciuta l'ha abbandonata, imprigionandola per sempre nella sua verginità. Ishikawa Motoko non può dunque essere X. La ricerca di Suzuki Tamaki sembra a un punto morto. Chi è quella donna senza volto e senza nome diventata famosa grazie a un romanzo, ma evanescente come un fantasma? E, soprattutto, chi è davvero Midorikawa Mikio? Un essere estremamente egocentrico che annienta il cuore degli altri? Un uomo crudele e spregevole che recide i suoi legami con studiata indifferenza?
