Senza biglietto di ritorno

"Perché non c'è un occidente dove si possa vivere tutti insieme come in un sogno islamico, senza rinunce e sofferenze e gelosie rabbie risentimenti e voglia omicida? Io vivrei così. Amerei persino lei, se si potesse." A parlare è Isabella, quarantun anni, separata, madre di due figlie e innamorata di un uomo sposato. La sua vita, un subbuglio di passione e trasporto intellettuale, di ricerca della se stessa più autentica e di cocenti disinganni, pure se Isabella è felice così. Fino a quando un evento tragico rischia di minare questa rapita euforia, di farla scendere per sempre dalla giostra. Tra flashback sulla sua infanzia solitaria e le enormi difficoltà della maturità, tra fragori sentimentali e fughe da parte dell'amante, tra esperienze che le permettono di evadere dalla quotidianità e riflessioni esistenziali: Isabella, alla fine del suo cammino, trova un centro, indipendentemente da lui.
