Every Angel Is Terrifying
Susanna Tamaro
Courageous, intimate, an ode to life despite its darker moments.
Born on a dark and stormy night in Trieste, where the violent Bora wind demolishes everything in its wake, Tamaro was abandoned by her father and rejected by her mother. Her childhood was plagued by a sense of emptiness and isolation. As she blossoms into a young woman, she discovers the world through beauty, nature, love, friendship, poetry, and literature. Displaced by a terrifying earthquake, she lived in Rome during Italy’s violent years of terrorism and finally found freedom through writing and books. That woman is Susanna Tamaro, who here gives us her most intimate and courageous book. It is an autobiography, a coming-of-age, and a hymn to life.
