"'Leielui' is a love story. It takes place all over a very hot summer, between Milan, the Ligurian coast, southern France and Vancouver, Canada. She is Moletto Clare, an American living in Italy for several years and worked at the call center of a large insurance company. He's Deserts Daniel, author of international bestseller 'The look of the hare' and other novels of varying degrees of success. In a day of torrential rain, he, drunk and full creative crisis, his car goes on the car in which she travels with her boyfriend. From this potentially catastrophic event, comes a report passing the mistrust hostility to curiosity, uncontrollable attraction. I wanted to tell the reasons, the doubts, the deep contradictions that a woman and a man of today have to face when he happens to fall in love really. The challenge was to talk about it as honestly as possible, and give the two main characters, men and women, the same weight. So the story is told in alternating chapters from the point of view of her and him, the perspective changes, and change the perceptions, feelings in the game, thoughts, questions unanswered. I think for a reader or a reader it is almost inevitable to identify with one of two characters, and that this might arouse in some cases a strange alternation of participation and anger. I know I did, with her and him. "Andrea De Carlo.
