Book selected from Libreria Self of Salone Internazionale del Libro di Torino for two consecutive years, 2024 and 2025.Silvia Sartirani is an independent Italian author who uses writing to explore the desire to look beyond appearances and delve into the depth and complexity of human emotions as they relate to our actions.Fragments - Every Life Is a Seed of a Memory is a family story told with a motivational tone. Through the memories of those who knew her, we discover the life of the protagonist, Agata. Each character offers their own perspective, revealing not only a facet of Agata's personality but also something about themselves-inviting the reader to reflect and find parts of themselves in these emotional mirrors. A friendship starting through a chance meeting, which ends in a fight against time and the challenges of life. Matilde and Agata come from different background, but still they are able to find a common destiny, sharing core moments of their lives. A simple, affectionate gesture is the starting point for a tangle of relationships which will spread through, and forever change, the makeup of a whole family. Agata's death does not leave an empty space in Matilde's life and the lives of those who loved her, because a part of her still lives within them. Small fragments of a self which were planted here and there, ready to resurface at the right time to help her feel her loss less starkly. After all, something is left of all of us, which will leave in other people's hearts through memories. Agata was a beautiful memory.
