Prima che sia notte

by Vecchini Silvia
Prima che sia notte

Carlo can’t hear, Carlo can see only from one eye, and now that eye is in danger.

The narrating voice of this story, written in poetry and prose, is his sister’s, a combative adolescent who has always been drawing energy from her complicity with Carlo. His issues never stopped him from being funny, happy, and very strong. But when his sight seems to be failing it is too much for everybody, in the family. How do you stand up to such a risk? Simple: you just do it, that’s all. You try and smile, and you realize you actually can.

A strong family bond, an inexhaustible vital energy, irony and affection are the source of a fine, unforgettable narrative voice.
