THE PRICE OF DESIRE

How much are we willing to sacrifice to change our lives? And when does the desire for redemption turn into a trap?

These questions are voiced by Camilla Baresani in the meeting dedicated to Jasmine wants it all, a psychological novel that narrates with rhythm and clarity the dark side of desire, of power, and of seduction.

Jasmine is twenty years old, has stunning beauty, and boundless ambition. Growing up in a suffocating environment, she dreams of the luxury she glimpses in the lives of the clients at the beauty center where she works. The encounter with Sergio Lenzi, a charming and wealthy man, seems to offer her the possibility of finally entering that world: an apartment by the lake, designer clothes, luxury bags, and the promise of a new life.

But the price is extremely high. Jasmine must leave her job, distance herself from her mother, and above all, maintain silence about the man who supports her. What seemed like a tale of redemption thus becomes a dangerous game, dominated by lies, manipulations, and power dynamics.

With sharp writing, Baresani dismantles the myth of easy wealth and exposes the contradictions of those who desire everything, showing how fragile the line between freedom and dependence can be.

A meeting with the author to delve into the twists of a restless story and discover who really controls desire and what price we are willing to pay to fulfill it.
