Summary

​A Rome, Ottavia Selvaggio a décidé à quinze ans d'être maîtresse de son destin. Ni ses histoires d'amour, ni le mariage, ni même la maternité ne la font dévier de sa route. Pendant que son mari s'occupe de leurs enfants, elle invente dans son restaurant une cuisine qui ne doit rien à personne. En robe noire et sans frémir, Ottavia avance droit, jusqu'au jour où un homme surgit du passé avec un aveu qui la pousse à douter de ses décisions. Comment être certaine d'avoir choisi sa vie ? Le désir a-t-il une fin ?

7.5/10

Readers have expressed a mix of admiration and critique for this novel. Many are captivated by the protagonist Ottavia's fierce independence and dedication to her culinary passion, which resonates deeply with themes of personal freedom and the complexities of love and family life. However, some readers felt disconnected due to the protagonist's perceived selfishness and the author's writing style, which didn't appeal to everyone. The narrative's exploration of gender roles and personal choice in the backdrop of a bustling Roman setting was particularly noted.

👍 Deep exploration of personal freedom.

👎 Some found the protagonist unrelatable.
