After winning the 2021 Premio Campiello for debut, Daniela Gambaro returns to short stories with the voice of childhood and hope, level-headedness and humour, and bewitches us once again.
Green, whether because you’re young or because that’s your disposition. This book is about little girls, young and mature women and their most natural desires: needing a mother after the death of your biological one and expressing this urge with constant hiccoughs; seeking a good teacher with more or less luck; earning money in imaginative ways; dealing with the loss of a younger brother and making sure you, too, don’t get buried in grief. Fuelled with young sap, their manes always tousled, the protagonists of these stories have been somehow or other cut down, their stems wound and twisted, but they find their own way to grow and find their place among the stronger, more standard trees: their own way to live, love and not give up.
Daniela Gambaro, was born in 1976. She is a screenwriter
