The Girl Who Abandoned Destiny

The Scent of Roses ITA

The Girl Who Left Destiny is a coming-of-age novel that shows how escape is necessary to reconnect with one's true identity: everywhere is home only if the roots of the self are well-established.

What if leaving everything behind was the only way to find yourself?
Safaa has always believed in the goodness of people. Yet, rejected by her peers and misunderstood by her family, she makes a daring choice: to walk away from the life she knows and follow an uncertain path of self-discovery.
Her journey carries her through medieval festivals, ancient villages, and untouched forests, where new friendships begin to heal old wounds. But it is in Morocco, surrounded by vivid landscapes and a culture unlike her own, that Safaa finds the courage to confront her fears, embrace change, and discover the roots of her true identity.

A rich blend of travel, culture, and emotional growth, The Girl Who Abandoned Destiny is more than a story of escape, it is a journey toward harmony, resilience, and the strength to belong, wherever life may lead.

✨ Perfect for fans of literary fiction, coming-of-age journeys, and novels of cultural exploration.
✨ A Literary Novel of Travel, Identity, and Transformation.

From a technical point of view, the historical novel L'odore delle Rose can be defined as a prosimeter, that is, a literary work in which verse and prose alternate in a sweet and balanced way. The prosimeter finds the fulcrum of its splendor in the Middle Ages, to then be progressively abandoned. Niccoli manages to resurrect its soul, carrying out an almost magical operation: on the one hand, he safeguards the philosophical-religious motifs as well as the musical harmony typical of the origins, on the other, he updates the contents and enriches them with intimate instances.
From the preface by Giuseppe Palladino
