Description

This is a collection of four short stories, about four women who achieve an emotional victory. Each one has suffered a different kind of loss, but they have in common the wish to transform a painful experience into some greater good. The title alludes to an emotional, not a geographic space, as each character deals with feelings of disconnectedness in her own way. Inspired by her discovery of Buddhism, the author uses references to the elements of nature (fire, water, air, earth) to evoke the interconnectedness of all life, and she moves each story toward a kind of "rebirth". The stories have a fable-like quality, and have inspired four meticulous original pencil drawings that accompany this ebook. Originally published in Italy in 2011 as "Isole", the preface was written by Dacia Maraini, one of Italy's best-loved writers.
