Sinossi
Siobhán ricorda come sua madre scherzava, sente ancora le sue mani che la sollevano per aiutarla a cogliere una castagna, e come cantava. Però non ricorda più il suo viso. Avvengono incontri strani nella vita di tutti, soprattutto in quella fase magica dell’esistenza che è l’infanzia. In un parco, un giorno, una signora si siede sull’erba accanto a Siobhán. Chiacchierando, la donna le suggerisce di guardarsi bene allo specchio e le sussurra le parole giuste per far tornare il sereno sul volto della persona più amata.
Una delicatissima storia illustrata sulla tristezza e la felicità, un distillato di emozioni che lascia il lettore con un sorriso.
"Roddy Doyle sa indagare nelle profondità più nascoste del cuore."

This is a story for children, but hey, The little prince is one of my favorite books of all time! Mum used to read it for me when I was young, and I read it every once in a awhile.

Doyle explores the effect of losing someone early on in life, the fading memory and the consequences of suppressing feelings. The story has a lovely moving message that those who we love never really leave, we hold them within us. At times, I felt that this was a slightly ambiguous story and I wonde Leggi tutto
