Emma Fenu’s “In Cerca di Te”

The (large and hidden) part of me that monthly flooded the menstrual Red Sea with silent tears, that feared envying other people’s pregnancies, then ended up loving the products of those pregnancies gutlessly, considering them compensation and a belated gift, that part, I was saying, recognizes the suffering of Emma Fenu in her “In Search of You”.

The person, the sought-after entity, is the Child — who then transforms into the Girl, as the author’s cultural interests focus on the female world — much desired, and pursued with every economic and health means, but never arrived.
