It is as pleasant to talk with Federica Bosco as it is to read her books, which have garnered popular and critical acclaim both in Italy and abroad. This exhilarating Florentine writer, who is in love with the States, is an author of four novels published by Newton & Compton.

The novels belong to a literary genre that is becoming ever more popular in the world. They have been translated into eight languages and more than 300,000 copies have been sold. To the titles "Mi piaci da morire" (which will become a fiilm), "L’amore non fa per me", "Cercasi amore disperatamente", she has now added "L’amore mi perseguita", which completes the trilogy of Monica, the protagonist’s adventures. We immerse ourselves in her characters, we imagine and visualize scenes thanks to the evocative way in which stories are written.

I would define her writing "cinematographic" - so much so that it is not surprising that Enrico Vanzina from "Mi piaci da morire" wants to make her work into a film. She, a Florentine Carrie Bradshaw (the protagonist from Sex & the City), is more than a niece of Bridget Jones, as some have wanted to define her.

Federica is a thirtysomething year old. For the year that she has been living in Bagno a Ripoli, outside Florence and in Rome, where she took a drama course, she has not been single.

She was a tourist entertainer, "a citizen of the world", and she is passionate about yoga and a vegan. Unlike Monica and her bizarre sentimental adventure stories, Federica surprised herself when she found her own Prince Charming. This leads us to wonder, how would Monica-Federica respond to the question that appears on the cover of "L’amore mi perseguita?" (in bookstores from the 6th of November), that asks: "is there really one great love or is it only a publicity stunt"?

We can find this out by asking her the question at the book presentation which will take place in Florence on Thursday the 4th of December at 21.30 at the Feltrinelli bookstore in via de’ Cerretani, 30/32r.
