Racconto - The Tale of the Reverse Journey by Sara Macedo

"Racconto - The Tale of the Reverse Journey" by Sara Macedo is a heartfelt exploration of heritage and self-discovery. Set against the backdrop of Brazilian-Italian immigration, the novel follows the protagonist's quest to trace her roots and uncover the untold stories of her ancestors. As she embarks on this journey from Brazil to Italy, readers are invited into a rich narrative that transcends mere historical accounts.

What makes the novel particularly captivating is how it intertwines personal family history with larger cultural shifts. The protagonist's reflections evoke universal themes—of displacement, belonging, and the yearning to connect with one’s ancestry. Macêdo's prose flows with a blend of nostalgia and hope, making the reader feel like a companion on this reverse journey.

The novel’s vivid portrayal of both the immigrant experience in Brazil and the pull of the old country provides depth and context to the characters' internal struggles. The book also balances these heavy themes with tender moments of love, loss, and personal growth.

Overall, "Racconto" is not just a story of uncovering family lineage but also one of rediscovering oneself through the lens of heritage. It is a beautifully written tribute to the resilience of immigrants and the enduring connections that bind families across generations. Highly recommended for readers who enjoy historical fiction with a personal touch.

I love being creative and have loved to write since a young age. Introducing myself feels strange right now. I am still in the process of rediscovering who I am in the midst of being a widow and a mother, a journey I think all mothers face. I am much more interested in the company I keep than where I want to be. It doesn't matter where I go, as long as I am around people I love. I spent many years traveling, being very mobile and sometimes homeless so I enjoy my little house and the stability and coziness it gives my family. Maybe one day I will be open to exploring again, but for now I am enjoying the calm of four walls.  2. When did you get the thoughts of writing this book?  Answer:  This book, And Then I Laughed, is the cul...
