Come una coperta spessa e avvolgente, la nebbia trasforma i visi più cari in macchie indistinte, la realtà in sogno e i ricordi in ombre lontane, creando un'atmosfera ovattata e silenziosa, in cui la tentazione di nascondersi è forte. È questo che ha fatto Elena per tutta una vita, in fuga da qualcosa di indefinibile che non vuole affrontare. Ma il funerale del nonno la costringe a tornare dopo tanti anni nel suo paese di origine, nella sperduta provincia veneta. L'arrivo nella casa della sua famiglia, il vuoto lasciato dai genitori, gli abbracci di Francesca la matta, cugina di un'infanzia apparentemente felice, la presenza incrollabile di zia Anna: tutto la mette di fronte a un passato che ora non può più ignorare, che ribolle minaccioso da sempre, col suo carico di segreti e paure inconfessabili. La scrittura di Donà tratteggia un mondo di personaggi sospesi tra l'imperativo di crescere e la tentazione di fuggire, il desiderio di dormire e l'obbligo di avanzare, creando un romanzo delicato e profondo, capace di illuminare le pieghe più nascoste dell'animo umano.

The Book Charmer
Prepare to fall under the spell of “this sometimes whimsical, often insightful, always absorbing story” (Shelf Awareness) following two fiercely independent women and their truly magical friendship in a sleepy Southern town, from New York Times bestselling author of Karen Hawkins. Sarah Dove is no ordinary bookworm. To her, books live, breathe, and sometimes even speak. As the librarian in her quaint Southern town of Dove Pond, her gift helps place every book in the hands of the perfect reader. Recently, however, the books have been whispering about something out of the ordinary: the arrival of a displaced city girl named Grace Wheeler. If the books are right, Grace could be the savior Dove Pond desperately needs. The problem is, Grace wants little to do with the town or its quirky residents—Sarah chief among them. But with a bit of urging, and the help of an especially wise book, will Grace ultimately embrace the challenge to rescue her charmed new community? “A mesmerizing fusion of the mystical and the everyday” (Susan Andersen, New York Times bestselling author), The Book Charmer is a heartwarming story about the magic of books that feels more than a little magical itself.
