Come un fiore sull’acqua
by Cima Lodovica
Unlike her sister Kati, the classic genteel young lady in mid-nineteenth-century England, Mimi does not recognise herself in the model all ribbons, curls and embroidery. Accompanied by her faithful dog Ginger, with sturdy boots on her feet and armed with pencils and watercolours, Mimì loves to explore the forest and reproduce mysterious mushrooms, leaves as large as umbrellas and multicoloured flowers in every detail. For her, the plant world is like a magnificent paradise, protecting her from the hateful set of rules and duties unfairly imposed on girls. Challenging prejudices and stereotypes and asserting her own talent with determination, she will discover that life is a journey that cannot be experienced locked away within the walls of one’s own home; instead, one must cross the threshold and put one step behind the other, with one’s gaze turned to the horizon. Reading age: from 10 years.
