(il mio piccolo parere lo darò alla fine della saga).
(il mio piccolo parere lo darò alla fine della saga).
Un bel libro, molto coinvolgente sul piano emotivo, con una prosa facile che scorre piacevolmente in modo vivace. Le due protagoniste - molto diverse tra loro, ma che si completano inevitabilmente - sono personaggi veri, vivi, calati in una realtà povera quasi senza futuro. Tuttavia, ho trovato Lila un pò eccessiva, troppo avanti, troppo brava, sempre troppo "prima" in tutto.
