In A Step Away from Life, a man looks back on his life through childhood, illness, desire, escape, solitude, and the bonds that leave a lasting mark. From his earliest years, the world reaches him through scents, silence, fear, and a tenderness held in check. As he grows, he learns how difficult it can be truly to inhabit one’s own gestures, one’s own body, one’s own days.
Amid loss, memory, and a few rare, decisive presences, his voice moves through time with a clarity that is both intense and vulnerable. An alabaster box, a friendship that knows how to remain close without intruding, the faithful companionship of Joy, and the call of the sea become the fixed points of an inward journey shaped by fragility, distance, and all that continues to endure, even through pain.
A Step Away from Life is a novel about incompleteness, restraint, the struggle to dwell fully in the world, and the deeply human need to find meaning even in what has never come to fulfilment.
A novel for readers of literary fiction, for those drawn to stories of profound emotional depth, and for those who love books that leave behind, in silence, a lasting ache.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. A Step Away from Life is a novel about incompleteness, memory, and the quiet difficulty of inhabiting the world.A man looks back on his own life, moving through the decisive places of his story: childhood, illness, desire, escape, solitude, and the bonds that save or wound. Each memory becomes a threshold; each wound, an unanswered question.Calogero Gagliano tells an intimate yet universal story in which the past does not return as mere nostalgia, but as a reckoning with what has been lost, silenced, or never truly understood.At the centre of the novel is a fragile existence, marked by the need to find meaning even where life seems to have withdrawn. This is not a story of easy redemption, but a human journey through pain, reserve, solitude, and the stubborn possibility of enduring.An introspective novel for readers who appreciate contemporary literary fiction, stories of memory, survival and self-understanding, wounded characters, and a narrative voice that asks what remains when every certainty falls away.
