'Now that you've grown and I've fallen ill, our bodies can no longer fit together.'Winner of the Strega Prize 2023Ada d’Adamo is mother to Daria. Their days are absorbed by caregiving and routine. Daria’s profound needs remained undetected in pregnancy, and with her birth, Ada’s world is remade.As a dancer she must use her physicality in new ways, to keep her daughter safe. As a writer she must find a language to communicate beyond words. And when, on the cusp of her fifties, Ada herself becomes gravely ill, she takes the most courageous decision of all: to leave Daria their story.This is Gravity, a journey of isolation, anger and sometimes despair, through moments of joy and exquisite tenderness, towards a love stronger than life.

Recensioner i media

'A novel that delves into the reader's heart. It took the precise and implacable language of this writer to support such a ferocious sentiment. You enter this book with enormous ease, but you come out of this book changed. There is such an amount of life in its pages that it leaves us breathless.'
