A book that constantly changes hands: Anna Karenina. Three women who rethink their lives after reading it. Mariana, a museum security guard, finds herself living a dull and meaningless reality. Patricia, a novelist, finds her own craft as a writer and the honesty of her relationship questioned. Cris finds solace in Tolstoy's words to cope with her pain.

Bookcrossing is a work born from a love of literature and reflects the extent to which books can shed new light on our lives and help us cope.

AUTHOR'S NOTES
Bookcrossing is a work born above all from a love of books and from the question I ask myself as an author: to what extent books can shape our lives or help us get through the day. Bookcrossing is an activity practiced all over the world. It consists of
leaving a book in any public place (a street, a park, an airport) so that someone else can find it, read it, and then leave it again, thus forming a chain. This is the driving force behind the play, as the characters confront themselves after reading a book they found by chance: Tolstoy's Anna Karenina.
As an author friend told me, reading a book can often be as defining an experience as taking a trip or meeting a new person. And I think what I've tried to reflect in this play is that love of books and the ability books have to help us live and make us understand why we are here.
