In 'Il bacio di Giuda', Sveva Casati Modignani presents an autobiographical account set in Milan in 1945, just after the war. Through the eyes of Sveva, a curious and somewhat rebellious girl, the reader observes the dynamics of the adult world, perceiving its contradictions and falsehoods. The story focuses on the relationship with her mother, a stern woman, and the affection for her father, a sweet man who protects her. The book, after a beginning marked by the consequences of the war, adopts an ironic and light tone, reflecting serenity and the hope of a better future. It includes an epilogue by the author's brother, Lucio, who offers his perspective on family life and his sister.
Sveva Casati Modignani is the pseudonym of Italian author Bice Cairati. For her first three books the pseudonym was shared by her late husband, Nullo Cantaroni. She has sold over 12 million books in Italy and is one of the country's most popular authors. Even though she has been published in 20+ countries, her work is not yet widely available in English, although at least one book, Mister Gregory, has been translated.
