This is an exceptional book. Lightly, sometimes hilarious (I often laughed out loud, especially early, naive narrator's relationship to modernity, comic effect that is not presented as funny). A sensible perception of beings, humans and animals, endearing characters, in which the character is a look that is both critical and indulgent. Most notable is the subtle way in which the apparitions of the Virgin, the narrator pushes the point of throw a stone affects his life. Away from all religious and spiritually as no transcendental or reference, it still emanates from the book, almost despite himself, the delicate halo of a beneficent presence.
