The forgotten on Sunday in Italy is publised as The notebook of lost love and is the first book written by Valérie Perrin.

I was really curious to discover the debut that has received so much acclaim.
Have you ever done anything the other way round?
It was a bit like closing the circle, but at the same time it was also the discovery of the origin, of how and where the other books were born.
The forgotten on Sundays contains topics that Valérie Perrin holds particularly close to her heart.
Abandoned animals.
Retirement homes and the elderly.
I have often found myself counting the damage from translating film titles, with outrageously disastrous examples such as “if you leave me I’ll delete you” instead of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, would you like to go on with more examples yourself?

Valérie Perrin told in an interview that Mal di pietre Sick of stones by Milena Agus was essential reading for her: if she had not read it, she would not have written The forgotten on Sunday.
A very intense inspiration indeed.
What sparked such inspiration in you?
