What remains after love changes shape?
Love & Broccoli is a deeply intimate collection of poetic prose exploring love, memory, loneliness, identity, motherhood, spirituality, longing, grief, and emotional survival.
Blending lyrical writing with elements of magical realism and literary introspection, Cristina Winters creates a haunting emotional landscape filled with snow-covered towns, underground stations, forgotten houses, oceans, silence, children, ghosts of memory, and impossible love.
Somewhere between poetry and literary fiction, these fragments become meditations on:
love and absence,
beauty and suffering,
trauma and healing,
motherhood and identity,
solitude and belonging,
memory and time.
Tender, philosophical, melancholic, and atmospheric, Love & Broccoli is written for readers who seek emotionally immersive literature that lingers long after the final page.
Perfect for readers of:
poetic prose,
literary fiction,
lyrical memoir,
contemporary women's literature,
reflective and philosophical writing,
magical realism,
emotionally introspective books.
For fans of:
Clarice Lispector, Anaïs Nin, Ocean Vuong, Virginia Woolf, and Gabriel GarcÃa Márquez.
