Precisely to invite us to a meditation, mezzo vocce, the suffering of this world, those that we suffer, those that we generate, and the share of responsibility of each face his destiny. No great philosophical discourse, not just 4 stories of men and women crossed a trying time in their lives. Eric Emmanuel Schmitt again was not apesantit: his pen remains light but it has a way of drawing in each phrase a thought well that the reader can explore at will go or even to carry us as the cover image of his book. I loved this beautiful flight to the sound of Alban Berg's concerto, with the image of St. Rita, the meeting of these characters that are not that distant.
