“The band of the gods” by Barbara Fiorio (Rizzoli, 346 pages, 16 euros) is a novel with strong characters, both children and adults, especially women, and important themes, from prejudice towards those who are different to friendship, from the lack of a father figure to the obsession with physical appearance, like that of Isabella’s mother, the Venus of the group, who forces her daughter to a strict diet so that she is always beautiful and ready to cast and show. Greek myths have always been a great passion of Barbara Fiorio, a Genoese author (from a Piedmontese family), who has been in the bookstore since October 19 with her new novel, whose plot revolves around Zeus and company. A coming-of-age story, for teenagers but not only, set in the Biella area, in a (invented) country where apparently nothing happens. But this is not the case for Sofia, Giacomo, Isabella (I know you named Isabella later, but the four “protagonists” are these, Carlotta, Leonardo and Delia are more secondary, it seemed more sensible to mention the four strongest ones, if you are agreement), Bartholomew and the other young people of the “gang” who meet every week in their personal Olympus to read a special book on the Greek myths of one of their grandfather. A happy parenthesis stolen from reality, from their complicated lives, from the lies, lacks and pressure of their parents, a moment in which the protagonists literally enter another world and become “Gods”, each reflecting their own characteristics. Too bad that outside, however, the difficulties come back to knock insistently on their doors. Will their great friendship be enough to solve everything?
