Il ragazzo senza ombra

by Stipari Lucia
Il ragazzo senza ombra

Philomena is 14 years old and returns to the seaside to spend the holidays at the house that used to belong to her grandmother. She has trouble accepting her grandmother’s death and the only way she can make her all anger go away is wandering outside in the early afternoon hours. It’s the so-called “forbidden hour”, when the sun shines at its peak and you’d better stay inside and rest, because strange things might happen… That’s when Philo meets Damien: who is this boy that stirs up so many feelings in her? Why doesn’t he have a shadow, like a demigod? While Damien’s mystery slowly unfolds, Philomena learns to let go and enjoy every second.
