Emily Temple

    Emily Temple crea narrazioni che approfondiscono le complessità della connessione umana e la ricerca del sé nella vita contemporanea. La sua prosa si distingue per un acuto intuito psicologico e uno stile linguistico preciso, capace di catturare le sottili sfumature dell'emozione. Attraverso le sue storie, esplora temi come la solitudine, il desiderio di appartenenza e la ricerca di significato nell'esistenza quotidiana. Temple ritrae magistralmente personaggi sia vulnerabili che resilienti, tessendo racconti che risuonano profondamente con i suoi lettori.

      "One year ago, the person Olivia adores most in the world, her father, left home for a meditation retreat in the mountains and never returned. Yearning to make sense of his shocking departure and to escape her overbearing mother, a woman as grounded as her father is mercurial, Olivia runs away from home and retraces his path to a place known as the Levitation Center. Once there, she enrolls in their summer program for troubled teens, which Olivia refers to as 'Buddhist Boot Camp for Bad Girls.' Soon, she finds herself drawn into the company of a close-knit trio of girls determined to transcend their circumstances, by any means necessary. Led by the elusive and beautiful Serena, and her aloof, secretive acolytes, Janet and Laurel, the girls decide this is the summer they will finally achieve enlightenment, and learn to levitate, to defy the weight of their bodies, to experience ultimate lightness."-- Publisher's description
