Pomeriggi di amore sospeso (Afternoons of Suspended Love), by Stefania Lucchetti (Albatros, 2025), is a bilingual (Italian and English side by side text) poetic journey through the seasons of marital love – a collection which explores couple life in its deepest truth: made of everyday gestures, shared challenges, and an intimacy that renews itself. With fluid, warm, and musical writing, the author guides us through the suspended afternoons of two lovers who, in the heart of a mature marriage, still know how to seek and choose each other.
Here, love is not idealized but lived: between disenchantment and wonder, between effort and passion, between skin and soul. It is a hymn to the quiet strength of dedication, to the beauty of small things, to the courage to transform time into complicity.
A book that, with a whisper of eroticism, speaks to the heart of those who love and those who have loved, to those who believe that true love does not burn out but transforms every day, together.
