Cinderella in Size 8

By Annalisa Seveso

Milan, Summer 1982
At twenty-four, Iris Mapelli has a dream that feels too big for the world around her: she wants to be a comic book artist. In a city that never slows down, caught between impossible deadlines and the heavy silence of judgment, Iris fights to be heard. Her mother and sisters, flawless and untouchable, see her drawings as nothing more than a waste of time. Only her father, with a quiet, knowing glance, seems to sense the hidden strength behind those pages.
Everything changes when an unexpected encounter-a mysterious man from a faraway country, carrying stories and secrets-slips into the cracks of Iris's carefully built certainties. Their fragile yet intense connection becomes a lens through which she sees her life anew, forcing her to decide: stay in the shadows, or finally chase her destiny.
