Something small and seemingly insignificant happens at the beginning of this book: a girl feels a sudden need to visit her friend who has moved to the village. And that's it. The two haven't met for three years. From that moment, from that second, without you noticing, you're on a narrative roller coaster, into a tsunami of events that intersect at marathon speed. There's no way of knowing what will happen on the next page or even in the next paragraph, and yet you feel like moving forward, running with the author and finding out what will happen. Before you is a story built from thousands of stories that are one story, solid, happy and complete. It seems that only the author knows the mechanism that controls the plot: so similar but at the same time different from life itself, that the work evokes an anxious whirlwind. Martin Rechtman, a great director, a genius writer – who complements Sergio Biscio – is also a conjurer who casts a spell, locking you in an ecstatic literary trap: before you is a school of writing, the art of fiction at its best.
