Sara Lazzaroni sculpts her novels in an economical style where the chapters surge, concise, carrying the story in the murmur of their undertow. Her fifth novel, Vitruvian woman, invites us into the daily life of Simone and Nora, two young women engaged in secretly promoting products by going to places where they must, by their charisma, attract attention. However, the agency that hires them controls their actions and forces them to stage a kind of idealized woman. Making the make-up of this theater crack, they try to extricate themselves from these rutted paths and the abduction of their existence. Brilliantly, the author embodies a transhumanism that presents itself as the advent of these societal prescriptions governing women. The crossover of these destinies is skilful and dynamic, but their quest for sovereignty is scattered and the story withers into multiple touched upon subjects, which are disappointing after such a promising introduction.
