A compelling and simple novel, like its protagonist, the book is a story that fascinates the reader, who fervently follows the moments and emotions of this little-great saint.
The story of Pina Suriano, another story of holiness in everyday life, resembles in some respects a classic and romantic nineteenth-century novel.
It is the love story of a young Sicilian woman, happy to suffer for the love of her only Love.
Pina Suriano, in fact, loved a lot in her thirty-five years of earthly life, wearing every day - as she wrote - the only 'badge of love'. But she also suffered a lot: in loving she suffered and in suffering she loved. This girl became a saint by living a very normal life in a small town in Sicily in the first half of the twentieth century.
Yet, she simultaneously experienced a compelling, but also painful and passionate love story, anything but predictable despite the simplicity of that initial promise written in tears when she was a young girl: 'Jesus, my Love, I love You and I will love'.
