Close your eyes!
Never before has the world been so devoid of miracles and intuition as in this era. I firmly believe that there is a need, for sparkle that illuminates our tomorrows. That's why woth all my limits I told the story of a girl, all projected towards the next holiday with her best friend, who instead gets "thrown" on the Costa Brava at the house of a grandmother that she doesn't know at all and is really very, very particular.
So, as I was saying, the story starts from a journey that began by chance, or by bad luck as Bianca, 17 years old and with fluctuating self-esteem, would say. In truth, the journey will take her to distant lands where she is, however, able to feel more at home than ever... and where she will discover her roots, but also something very special that binds her to her grandmother Virginia, never seen or known before, if not in old yellowed photos locked inside a shoebox. It is thanks to this gift that she will be able to read and react to the succession of unexpected situations that will lead her to feel like she is on a roller coaster, but also to grow emotionally. As the chapters continue, the characters around the protagonist become deeper, starting from her roots, from Grandma Virginia and her complex story of mourning and unresolved motherhood, up to the past from which Bianca's first great love, Jan and his family.
This book is about growth, but also about returning to the past in search of a meaningful narrative that gives a framework to the relationships torn apart around the protagonist. But then it also talks about teenage love, made up of butterflies and holes in the stomach, all seasoned in a magical sauce. He was born 10 years ago but probably like many others, he grew up in the winter of humanity 2020 2022, and sometimes, with a bit of arrogance, he drags the reader into all those somatic reactions typical of adolescent emotions that have been lost with the advent of Covid. It is dedicated to the adolescents I deal with as a psychotherapist, but it hopes to appeal to adults with a romantic soul.
Genre Young Adult Paranormal.
