Anna Bonacina, a librarian in Udine, writes articles on children's literature and short stories for the magazine Intimità.
Her short story L'amore è un airone azzurro (Love is a Blue Heron) was chosen as one of the finalists in the Leggi Scrivi Eataly prize organised by Eataly and Scuola Holden and was published in the book of the same name.
L'estate in cui fiorirono le fragole, her debut novel, has already been translated in France and Russia and is being translated in Germany and Serbia. The book, a lively hymn to imagination, an interlocking novel with many stories that mirror each other and chase each other laced with good humour, has been so successful that it will soon become a TV series: an unmissable appointment, not only for readers, but also for the many writers and aspiring writers who want to learn the secrets to make the leap from the printed page to the screen!
