The happiness of others, by Carmen Pellegrino, has Cloe as its protagonist, and her courageous journey is the story of a love and a hope that do not die, even when inside and outside of us there is nothing but ruin. Carmen Pellegrino returns to deal with the past and identity, rummaging through the most hidden recesses of abandoned souls. The narration develops between small villages and Venice, a city that in Carmen Pellegrino's novel, a journey through the places and feelings of abandonment, is "a configuration of the spirit". Venice is in fact the city where Cloe will choose to live and study, the mysterious island where she will follow a course in Aesthetics of the shadow, held by Professor T., "an immobile and solitary man".
