Maggiori informazioni sul libro
"Roberta Gately's lyrical and authentic debut novel - inspired by her own experiences as a nurse in third world war zones - is one woman's moving story of offering help and finding hope in the last place she expected. Gripped by haunting magazine images of starving refugees, Elsa has dreamed of becoming a nurse since she was a teenager. Of leaving her humble working-class Boston neighborhood to help people whose lives are far more difficult than her own. No one in her family has ever escaped poverty, but Elsa has a secret weapon: a tube of lipstick she found in her older sister's bureau. Wearing it never fails to raise her spirits and cement her determination. With lipstick on, she can do anything - even travel alone to war-torn Afghanistan in the wake of 9/11." -- English publisher.
