Urania, the Talking Tree
Although I began with the intention of writing another fairy tale, the book gradually evolved into a literary story that narrates the life of a young woman after the inheritance left to her by her beloved grandfather.
We follow her life as it unfolds over the course of one year. Each chapter sheds light on a different point of her journey—her personality, her inner world, and her life itself.
The book speaks of friendship, the pain of separation, solitude, the choice of motherhood, and the relationship with nature and the self.
Through the inner dialogue that runs throughout its pages, the book’s central heroine—named Elpida (Hope)—reveals her relationship with the world around her.
From the very beginning until the final chapter, where the story rises into a magical ritual, Elpida speaks with the tree that stands at the heart of the land she inherited.
This paradoxical relationship guides her along unfamiliar and transcendent paths—paths that ultimately ground her life in joy and in the strength that comes from recognizing one’s own worth.
I wrote this book addressing young women, wishing in my own way to offer support—but also women in general, whose nature is deeply and multifacetedly connected to our planet Earth, which truly supports us as a mother.
Above all, I wrote it with great love for trees, which within me hold the place of the true children of the Earth.
I do not exclude, finally, those special men—like Elpida’s grandfather—who, through their own wisdom and support, enable women to make their offering to the world.
This book was written from my heart, and I sincerely hope you will enjoy it.
