Description
Valeria Cossati's secret diary is a shiny black notebook she buys on a whim, a means to express her growing discontent with her life. As she writes, she uncovers a profound sense of restlessness and dissatisfaction, her roles as wife, mother, and daughter beginning to break apart. This intimate and haunting story is a powerful exploration of one woman's awakening to her true thoughts and desires, set against the backdrop of postwar Rome.
