I received a book today via Great Britain, but translated from the Italian. It is a coming an age novel...as a young woman searches to know her parents after her grandmother who raised her passes away...
“To keep away despair, the child holds on to anything at all — a hint, an inkling — that he hopes may grow and broaden until it transforms the whole scene. There’s not a detective or a scientist who can match the investigative talent of a child bent on finding valid reasons to admire the people who have brought him into the world” (Listen to my Voice, 103).
