Maraini uses language and stylistics, rather than description, to
define her three women protagonists. Lori, the youngest of the
three women, uses the impetuous, spontaneous language of youth,
late adolescence. Lori's mother, Maria uses the protracted language
of a romantic, a learned researcher, and most significantly a
translator who chooses words with intention in an attempt to bridge
cultures, experiences and, in this case, generations. The
grandmother Gesuina, a former stage actress, has a voice that is
brutally honest, provocative, escapist. All three voices reflect
the essence of the characters: Lori, the reckless teenager who
flies off on her moped, her life's speed represented by her diary
without punctuation; Maria, the pensive translator whose detailed
observations are so concentrated on the word that she does not see
the circumstances that are unfolding around her; Gesuina, the
erstwhile stage actress, who muses aloud and audio-records hoping
for an audience to receive her recitation.  Â
