La tua vita

It is the passionate novel in which the maternal feeling is debated that sometimes, in its sublimity, unconsciously takes the form of selfishness. Maura, a very young vdova, does not move to a new marriage to concentrate all her affections on the only son, Roberto; but because he is not torn from the love of another woman, from a boy he tries to induce him to the priesthood. By attending the seminary, before taking the minor vows, the young man feels that he does not have a vocation and ends up rejecting the cassock, with great concern of his mother, who has since started a vigilant struggle against the natural tendencies of his son, and it is following this intense exclusive affection that the novel takes place in the most painful situations that end up overwhelming Roberto’s righteousness and Maura’s peace.
