Bar Einstein

by Facchini Giuliana
Bar Einstein

There’s a new girl in Edo’s class. Edo’s interest is awoken by this reserved, discrete girl whose name is Sasha. Every day, after school, Sasha takes the bus going in the opposite direction to her house, towards the roughest neighborhood in the town, and Edo can’t understand why. He’s never been over there: he lives in a country house with four other youngsters and their families. They grew up together in a commune, they’re all between fifteen and seventeen years old and they aren’t really brothers and sisters, but it’s as if they were. Without confiding in his close friends, Edo starts to follow the girl, finding out about her story, getting to know her and falling in love with her. And he starts to pay the price straight away. Neither is welcome in the surroundings of the other, it’s as if they come from two incompatible, far-away worlds, and yet they cannot deny that they
are attracted to each other, and this attraction blooms during the summer solstice party. But all this is broken up with misunderstandings, the desire for possession, lies and betrayals, the writing changes: from round and light it becomes dark. And the reader is urged to wonder if it is possible, in this life, to really love someone without telling them the truth.
