The plot of the book is taken from the website Le Paoline, where you can buy the text:

Goli is an Iranian woman forced to leave her homeland to save herself and her two children. Despite his young age, he feels he has already lived three lives. The first in Iran, where the word and life of a woman is worth little, too little. At the age of 12, Goli is married to a violent man, whom she divorces. At the age of fifteen, she remarried an equally evil man, from whom she had two children. She divorced again. The second life on the road. Goli leaves Isfahan, the city where he has always lived, and embarks on a journey of hundreds of kilometers along the Balkan route, a trajectory generally followed by migrants from Asian regions wishing to reach Europe. A journey of violence and abuse. The third life takes place in Italy, currently. Goli tells of the difficulty of starting again, leaving behind ghosts.

Inspired by real events, this novel by Laura Cappellazzo - author particularly sensitive to human rights and the female condition - is an excursus in Iranian society, where the word of a woman, in court, is worth half that of a man; It is a testimony of the abuses faced by those who find themselves in the "weak" position of migrant; it is the revelation of the courage and perseverance of a woman who has never stopped defending her dignity.
