Brazilian contemporary romance Paula Ottoni, The lyrics of Love is published by New concept and shows that sometimes we discover love where we least expect it.
In The Letters of Love, bianca, a 19 year old girl, is moving to Italy to help her boyfriend Miguel in your new business. In reality, it's not really a change, since the couple will spend six months in the country, the time needed to open the store and Miguel to prove to his father that he has what it takes to inherit the family business.
They stay at Miguel's best friend's apartment, Enzo, who provided a room for the couple. Enzo and Bianca quickly become very close and with Miguel always working, their friendship becomes strong... until it turns into something more. Not knowing what to do, Bianca finds herself in the middle of a love dilemma, in love with two men.
Interestingly, Paula Ottoni began the work talking about romance film clichés, however The Letters of Love couldn't escape the cliché of literary novels. Even so, the plot proves convincing. Enzo is a very helpful and attentive boy, who goes head to head with Bianca's busy and absent boyfriend, which makes their passion almost logical.
The interesting thing about the book is that Bianca's true discovery is not the love of a man, but the love of herself. On this trip, the young woman is forced to fend for herself and see her life from a side that she had not yet analyzed, thus discovering that she is independent and self-sufficient, even freeing herself from dependence on a relationship.
Ottoni chose to place a playlist at the beginning of each chapter, giving a difference to the work, but leaving it with a more youthful appearance. With that and the tenor of a 19 year old girl finding her path and calling, The Letters of Love It has a more adolescent tone, being great for this age group, but running the risk of becoming empty for adults.
It is worth mentioning that the author chose Italy as the setting because she herself is an Italian citizen and has already lived in Italy.
The Letters of Love is a simple and conventional, yet convincing novel. His self-knowledge content gives the work a differentiating feature. Even though it is a little more aimed at a younger audience, it can also please adults who are looking for a light distraction.
Ps: The title is inspired by the fact that LOVE becomes ROME, the city in Italy that Bianca goes to, when written backwards.
