Splendi come vita fa quello che fa la letteratura alla sua massima potenza: ridà vita a ciò che non c'è più, illuminando di riflesso la vita dell'ascoltatore. Ma lasciamo che a parlarne sia l'autrice. "Splendi come vita è una lettera d'amore alla madre adottiva. È il racconto di una incolpevole caduta nel Disamore, dunque di una cacciata, di un paradiso perduto. Non è la storia di un disamore, ma la storia di una perdita. Chi scrive è una bambina adottata, che ama immensamente la propria madre. Poi c'è una ferita primaria e la madre non crede più all'amore della figlia."
