Elvira's Tales

My mother will always exist in my memories and thoughts. She will never die. However, grief is painful, and I decided to face it by writing this book. Elvira's Tales is a story on the edge of life, where I imagined my mother in a world parallel to ours, in a place of transition between life and death. Despite the seriousness and complexity of afterlife topics, my mother's joyful spirit will prevail throughout the narration. "Elvira is a lively seventy-year-old woman. She has a rich and full life. Returning from her friend's home, she finds herself inexplicably stuck in a room with a stranger. In that room with white walls and minimalist furnishings, Elvira tells stories and anecdotes to pass the time. That place, however, turns out to be a sort of borderland between parallel worlds. From here, in the company of various characters, Elvira must understand which decision to take. Where she will decide to go?" - God could not be everywhere, and therefore he created mothers -
