#27 Chiaromattino

Hello Robin.

First of all I want to thank you for this beautiful experience and a special thank to Maet for posting this. Time ago, while discussingn the different themes of romance, me and her were on perfect tuning thanks to your men, Michael and Gabriel, the two angels.

There are novels that amuse you, that impassion you, that make you laugh or that move you, your books have been all that and more to me, they made me think and showed me passion from another point of view: the right to it.

Before I had the courage to start reading your books I have been told all your plots, but I was not prepared to the intense emotional impact I felt when I read them myself.

They were alive, vibrant, marvelous.

Long moments of pure, deep feeling, I have no other words to express what your works meant to me. I read you in Spanish but I really hope there will soon be room in the Italian publishing market for the kind of literature you write about.

One last thing: in all of your characters, men and women, I see truth. Not only we share their feelings and the triunph of passion, but their long journey to achieve a real knowing of themselves, a love for themselves that sweep away all false moralisms and that enable them to ask the right to life and love.

A right women have been denied for so long, denied to women in particular but also to those who did not fit in the accepted "categories".

Thanks Robin because reading you I understood.

Oh, Chiaromattino, grazie molto! As I wrote in my interview, hearing that my characters have touched a reader - that they have made them feel and think, as they do me - makes all the doubts and worries about writing . . . should I take this out? leave this in? . . . worth while.

Baci tante,
