Dawn French Libri

Le famiglie perfette non esistono. Mo se lo ripete almeno una volta al giorno, ma è difficile convivere con il fallimento, è difficile arrendersi di fronte al fatto che la vita ti sfugge tra le dita, lasciando in cambio solo rughe e incomprensione. Ed è ancor più difficile per una madre che è anche psicologa per l'infanzia capire che i propri figli non ne vogliono sapere di aprirsi a lei, né tantomeno di seguire i suoi consigli. Allora la soluzione sembra semplice, forse la felicità si nasconde in una storia che ti fa sentire di nuovo donna, oppure nel distacco, nel riappropiarsi della libertà perduta. Ma ciò che Mo scopre davvero è che oltre il bianco e il nero, c'è qualcosa in più del grigio. E la meraviglia che si cela dietro i dettagli minimi, quelli più insignificanti... che a cercarli meglio aiutano a ritrovarsi.

Chi occupa la stanza numero 5 del reparto di terapia intensiva? Un’amante ineguagliabile? Una donna egocentrica senza pari? Una martire altruista? Una cattiva madre? Una sorella amata? Una moglie egoista? Ciascuna di loro. Silvia Shute, che ha sempre vissuto intensamente e senza inibizioni, improvvisamente deve arrendersi al fatto che la sua vita abbia subito una battuta d’arresto. Nel suo passato si cela un oscuro e terribile segreto e ora che è priva di coscienza in un letto d’ospedale, l’incessante flusso di visitatori sembra alternarsi per svelare il mistero di una vita spezzata. Silvia giace lì, vittima dei suoi cari, della noia, dei mormorii. Che le piaccia o no, la verità sta per farle visita. Come avvenne in passato...

IF YOU LOVE DAWN, YOU'LL LOVE HEARING ABOUT ALL THE TIMES SHE'S BEEN A COMPLETE TWAT . . . When I was younger I wanted to be an interesting, sophisticated, semi-heroic, multi-layered person. BUT. That kind of perfect is impossible. Being an actual twat is much more the real me. Sorry to boast, but I am a champion twat. In The Twat Files I will tell you about all the times I've been a total and utter twat. The moments where I've misunderstood stuff and messed up. In my life these have been key because: Mistakes tell us about ourselves. Mistakes tell us about others. Mistakes are hilarious. Mistakes expose our flaws. Mistakes show us ourselves honestly. Mistakes are gloriously human. My hope is that these stories might fire up yer engines to remind you of just what a massive twat you also are. Let's celebrate and revel in this most delightful of traits together. That would be perfectly twatty.
