Allow this book to take you on a journey that will capture both your head and your heart. - Irene Sabatini

How my imagination soared — the moon seemed so close that I felt I could reach out and touch it. And then my mind wandered: what are those noises outside?

I think that literature, when it’s good, as opposed to journalism, gives you the freedom to be the characters, to enter into their lives, their psyche and so their experiences become, in a way, yours.

But that’s what’s great about books- they carry you up, out and away, lifting you away from the mundane to the extra ordinary.
