The plot is simple but it is interesting. We follow with pleasure the life of Maria, its evolution, its development, its understanding of the world around him grows gradually. Especially since this character is endearing, innocent little girl she is, buffeted by life. Bonaria is also interesting, I would say also that both are touching in their own way.
However, I regret that times remain unclear. The girl does not understand the meaning of what he said but the reader Bonaria is he supposed to understand. To me, it still remained very vague. It is of course an idea, but it's a shame because the uncertainty remains. Also I found the end a little too fast. A small development would not have embarrassed me 'I would have liked to know what eventually became the characters.
To conclude, here is a particularly novel that is very interesting, from my point of view. It would be a shame to miss because it helps open ourselves to other cultures and other customs. This novel is a success that I highly recommend.
