His solution? See a shrink to put words on her sentences. An initiatory journey that will change his life.

Ciao Bella is above all a poignant and humorous book. This lightness soothes the reader and his own ailments. There is something very universal in Ciao Bella. We are deeply captivated by the story of Anna, which is ultimately that of all women. Serena Giuliano approaches motherhood in an uninhibited way. We witness her changing moods and funny thoughts through her sessions with her shrink. The years pass, we see it evolving, rebuilding and remembering too. Gradually, the sentences then give way to certain joys.

Ciao Bella is a story of emancipation, personal reconciliation and self-improvement. This story does us good, so much so that it is impossible for us to leave this so inspiring woman.

Serena Giuliano offers us an intimate novel, overwhelming and soothing at the same time. The author tells her own story and the obstacles she has overcome during her life in an atmosphere that takes you on a journey. Italy, dear to him, has never been so sublimated.
