«La manutenzione della vita vera» is the contemporary novel by Debra Adelaide, published by Salani in hardback (375 pages, in Italian).
Delia, a writer of household manuals, believes that keeping the house tidy maintains serenity in the face of chaos. When she suffers an incurable illness, she tries to put her present and her memory in order: she revisits past decisions, a family tragedy, and the affections she wants to leave clean for her loved ones.
This novel is the Italian version of The Household Guide to Dying (2008), translated by Laura Serra. It was longlisted for the Orange Prize in 2009.
A novel for reading groups and for those seeking contemporary fiction about domestic life, death, and memory.
