What to say next

Written by Giada Marino This review is available only in the original language. ______________________________________________________   Chi ha detto che l’amore è semplice? Nessuno?!? Ahh, bene… Perché infatti molto spesso l’amore è tutt’altro che semplice, e il libro che vi presenterò oggi – La teoria imperfetta dell’amore di Julie Buxbaum – vi darà un esempio di come questo sentimento possa essere complicato. I protagonisti di questa storia sono un ragazzo e una ragazza che all’apparenza sembrano...

Piccolillo (Bookseller Mondadori Bookstore Barona) This review is available only in the original language. ___________________________________________________________________________   Il mondo dei famelici è un mondo dove tutto è possibile: ogni passo della vita dei protagonisti è testo al miglioramento della propria vita e, in alcuni casi, anche a quella degli altri.

The house on the embankment

“The way in which love is generated derives from a series of precise rules and formulas, which can neither be ignored nor discarded.” We have been missing for a long time to read, in the panorama of Italian literature, a beautiful and engaging family story! We were overwhelmed by the private and non-private affairs of the Casadio family, who live in the small village of Stellata, in the province of Ferrara; these events span the...

Between

Written by Giada Marino This review is available only in the original language. ______________________________________________________   Oggi vi parlerò del libro After di Jessica Warman. La prima scena si svolge su uno yacht di nome Elizabeth (stesso nome della protagonista di questa storia) e non avrà nulla di scontato: Liz viene svegliata da un suono fastidioso che le continua a martellare nel cervello e, andando alla ricerca della causa di quel rumore, si accorge di un...

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time

“I think prime numbers are like life. They are very logical but you can never find out the rules.” A story to be read in one breath, the narrating voice is so fresh and agile. It is a first-person story; the narrator is the protagonist, Christopher Boom: a fifteen-year-old boy who has Asperger’s syndrome, hence behavioral disorders and developed mathematical skills. We were overwhelmed by this game to which we were subjected by the author,...

Eleonor Oliphant is completely fine

“…I had never been able to find anyone suitable for the spaces that were created within me.” “Eleanor Oliphant” is fine has been a resounding editorial success in recent years; we read it with care and curiosity to find out the reasons and we think we have found some. Eleanor Oliphant is a sober thirty-year-old, with an anonymous “office job” which she has been fulfilling promptly and without any trace of enthusiasm, five days a...

Milanese railing houses

“It never happens: faith and hope do not interact with the things of the world.” The Milanese railing houses have a particular history, hidden over the decades by real estate speculations and layers of renovations done in a hurry, in order to be able to resell at exorbitant prices what were once social housing of zero value, for the last people of the society. A charm known to very few, perhaps only to those who...
