Reviews

From the Preface: Through these novels: Gone Girl- Gillian Flynn, The Silent Wife - A.S.A. Harrison, Unravelling Oliver - Liz Nugent and Hell Hath No Fury - Ingrid Noll, Rossella Valdre's describes an overturning of the ill-treated and the abusive and malicious women sides. She combines cultural, experiential and psychoanalytic details showing critical marriage aspects: the mutual idealizations, the subsequent illusions and unconscious projections. She looks at an unsaid truth, ordinary women, like us: they need to be placed in the contemporary world, to look at things widely, with awareness. Her books always intercepts emotions, unconscious aspects of her and her unconscious profundities. -Donatella Lisciotto, Full Member of the International Psychoanalytic Asssociation.
