Luciana Littizzetto - Il tempo del La La La

With this, her first novel, Luciana Littizzetto tells us about a time in every woman's life, fragile and alive, and navigates it with lightness and irony: a luminous, relatable story, capable of making us smile and, at the same time, moving our emotions with intelligence and grace. Three women, a trusted café, and a relentless chat. Every week, between coffees with hot water on the side and secrets, Lola, Maura, and Ida return there, as if it were the simplest way to stay connected. Lola is about to turn sixty and feels fading, stuck between a past that hasn't stopped hurting and a present that seems to have lost its color. Maura is dealing with a marriage that drags on out of habit rather than enthusiasm, and with those dreams she's had to put aside over the years. Ida, on the other hand, with her mix of optimism and recklessness, doesn't ask anyone's permission: she lives, makes mistakes, and starts again. What unites them is a subtle uneasiness: the feeling that the game isn't over yet, that dreams and desires can still find space. But how? Maybe, sometimes, all it takes is faith and learning to let beautiful things find us. And so, within that suspended time, something begins to move in the most unpredictable ways: an unexpected encounter, an unexpected opportunity, the past knocking again, opening the way to a future yet to be imagined. Against the backdrop of a vibrant Turin that silently accomplices them, Lola, Maura, and Ida find themselves confronting what they have been and what they might yet be, balanced between regrets and enthusiasm, fears and sudden openings, while the strong feeling of being alive resurfaces. With this, her first novel, Luciana Littizzetto tells us about a time in every woman's life that is both fragile and alive, navigating it with lightness and irony: a luminous, relatable story that makes us smile and, at the same time, stirs our emotions with intelligence and grace.
