Dopo Narciso la primavera

(After Narcissus Comes the Spring. How to emerge from the long winter of a toxic relationship)

Antonio Vallardi Editore, September 2022, pp.336

When love becomes obsession, annihilation and self-destruction.

Federica Bosco revisits her painful experience of toxic love in order to help readers transform difficulties into an extra asset.

A book about blossoming again.

This time you’re sure. You’ve met the man of your dreams. You’re the light in his eyes, he showers you with love, promises and plans. Everything seems to fall into place until, one detail at a time, the light becomes shadow. Declarations of love suddenly turn into cruel silences, seduction into manipulation and attention into psychological torture.

Federica Bosco found the courage not to give in and, with tenacity and patience, put the pieces of her life and soul back together in a new order, so was born again better, stronger, sturdier and truer. Above all, she decided to put her experience and her pen at the service of anyone who may need it, to make sure that fewer and fewer people fall into the narcissists’ traps.
