Alessandro Barricco is part of the great contemporary writers, it is a fact, that one is charmed by his style and his characters on the margins, or be resisted. This little book, like a score in 3 movements is a gem, that we have loved or not other novels. By itself it is worth seeing: he murmurs love off the beaten path. The two protagonists are changing age, appearance, time telescope, you are carried away, love is the key, always unexpected, strange perhaps ... Do not miss this fun drive, this little gem of writing, stories that you are told, brief and punchy as new.
