Gela

About this book

Between Alexandria's bustling streets and its never-sleeping sea breeze, tales are born that seem calm on the surface, but hide storms of feeling in their depths. "Gela," the girl who did not know that a short rest in a quiet garden would open before her the doors to another time, and tales that never crossed her mind. The story begins with the pulses of an ordinary spring day, a university routine, and warm family details between a loving mother and a pampered little sister.. but fate loves playing with hidden threads. When "Gela" meets that old lady in the garden, the puzzle pieces begin to take shape; tales from the eighties about a love born between library shelves, and mysterious messages across modern screens joining the virtual world and the real aversion to "the neighbor's son." This book is no mere chronicle of a love story, but a journey into chance's psychology, and how yesterday's enemy can become today's pulse behind virtual accounts' masks. It is a struggle between the mind that refuses, and the heart that drifts behind sweet words without seeing the face of their sayer. "Gela" is an invitation to contemplate those moments we pass by without attention, while they are in truth drawing our future's features entirely. Do we choose our destinies, or do destinies choose for us the most twisted roads to reach those we love?
