Sinossi
«Non chiamammo subito la polizia.» Con queste parole si apre un romanzo indimenticabile. A pronunciarle è Mia, 20 anni, irriverente e iperanalitica voce narrante. Mia inizialmente non si preoccupa quando suo padre e suo fratello minore Eugene non rientrano dopo una passeggiata in un parco vicino. Ma quando Eugene torna a casa da solo, sanguinante e sconvolto, diventa chiaro che qualcosa di grave è accaduto: suo padre è scomparso e l'unica persona che potrebbe sapere cosa gli sia successo è proprio Eugene, che, tuttavia, a causa di un'anomalia nello 0,00000003 percento del suo DNA, è perennemente sorridente e non può parlare. Mentre il mistero della scomparsa del padre si intreccia con il mistero della condizione umana stessa, una domanda sorge spontanea: conosciamo davvero le persone che amiamo? Ricco di colpi di scena e interrogativi profondi sull'amore, sul linguaggio e sui legami, Io sono qui è un romanzo che unisce mistero e dramma familiare a una profonda riflessione filosofica sulla vita e sulla felicità.

This book is an outstanding work that includes different genres inside a portal with an extra intelligent, thought-provoking style. My expectations were too high after reading the author's previous work, "Miracle Creek," and luckily it exceeded them. The story is narrated by Mia, a twenty-year-old
I have such mixed feelings about this book. On the one hand, I really liked the story and absolutely appreciated the way Angie Kim brought much-needed insight to a condition that’s so misunderstood. Not only did I learn a lot from the story, it also made me deeply reflect on my own preconceptions an Leggi tutto
2.5★ This was a tedious reading experience, I not once was compelled to pick this back up, and I felt confused for a huge chunk of the the first half wondering if this really was the same author who wrote Miracle Creek? And even now as I write this I am wondering if this was all just a “Me” problem b Leggi tutto
