E quando ha fine? Come si esce dall’inferno? E chi è Dio? Un percorso interiore che ci racconta di quanto un uomo possa perdersi nel dolore e di come la forza rigeneratrice della Natura e il mistero della vita racchiusi nelle cose più piccole lo possano cullare, guarire e redimere, restituendolo al mondo.Con questo romanzo, l’autrice di Va’ dove ti porta il cuore ci regala una storia autentica e incredibilmente poetica che fa risuonare le corde dell’amore, della fragilità umana e dello stupore che si prova di fronte alla vita.
