The girl by the bridge
by Diego Mello
Description
Three lives intertwined at random. An orphan of 25 years, a psychiatrist with cancer and the girl by the bridge - a young woman with suicide attempt history - will discover how grievances, absences, anxieties and sorrows can transform us through affection, gratitude and hope after the chaos. 'The girl by the bridge', the writer and psychiatrist Diego Mello, is a novel that deals with the feeling of 'an exaggerated amount of life', even through pain and disappointments. The reader is transported to the movements that develop within the chaotic and turbulent psychological functioning and that question the certainties of life. The arduous task of facing feelings, the author indicates that you need to 'look in the stars some sort of encouragement to pain' and see how the other interferes with our psyche and can save us or condemn us. The work challenges us to walk the path of the characters and the discovery of who we really are, or want to be. In the words of one character, 'You have to get lost to find yourself.'
