IT | Dopo un inizio accattivante una lunga, lenta e macchinosa parte centrale per arrivare a una conclusione sì soddisfacente ma leggermente confusionaria. La presenza di un orso alza il livello della lettura (come sempre quando c’è un orso). 

EN | After a captivating beginning a long, slow and cumbersome central part to arrive at a satisfying but slightly confusing conclusion. The presence of a bear raises the level of the reading (as always when there is a bear).

IT | Mi ha annoiato tremendamente e, da siciliana, non sopportavo di leggere quel modo di parlare molto costruito semi-dialettale che non ha riscontro nella realtà.

EN | It bored me terribly and, as a Sicilian, I couldn't stand reading that very constructed, semi-dialectal way of speaking that has no basis in reality.

IT | Un libro che è entrato facilmente e di diritto nella lista delle letture migliori di quest’anno. Uno di quelli che chiudi e pensi “avrei voluto leggerlo quando ero più giovane”, ma come dice anche l’autrice: meglio tardi che mai.

EN | A book that easily and rightfully entered the list of best reads of this year. One of those that you close and think "I wish I had read it when I was younger", but as the author also says: better late than never.
