Overview: Emilia is thirty-one years old.
A secret stabbed in her past has led her to hide in Sassaia, a semi-abandoned village in the mountains of Piedmont, Northern Italy, where the sun sets too soon.
Emilia has committed one of the worst crimes a human being can commit: she has violated the commandment “Thou shalt not kill”. This is her secret. This is her past.
Emilia is guilty. And she has an acute awareness of it.
Emilia aspires to a redemption to which she would be entitled according to the law of men, but not according to her conscience. And she seems to want to condemn herself to endless shame and suffering. Her solitude meets that of Bruno, who is an elementary school teacher in Sassaia, more out of resignation rather than a vocation. Bruno also lives in the dark, with a pang of guilt in his heart, but also with the pain of a victim.
Emilia seeks atonement, but she denies herself a future, in spite of being so young and beautiful, although with a dark pulsing heart in her chest.
Silvia Avallone illuminates this dark heart with a look full of pietas and compassion, of that love that only great writers know how to dedicate to their characters. And the author accompanies us with lucidity and sensitivity behind bars, within the walls of a juvenile prison. Thus we enter the lives of forgotten, broken, lost young women, condemned, even before a sentence, by incurable and hopeless environmental factors.
Cuore nero speaks about guilt and justice, condemnation and salvation. A moving, intense, warm novel. Yet lucid and illuminated by a great emotional power, which forces us to observe our own human condition.
