Reviews

A brilliant memoir -- Mariella Frostrup An optimistic, airy book with high cultural references. From the drama of the earthquake, from that dancing of the mountains, from those territories damaged but not vanquished, Christine shows us all of them -- Adolfo Leoni * Il Resto Del Carlino * A beautifully written, many-layered and poetic book . . . As well as a description of an existential disaster, this is also a meditation on the fragility of the human state and mind and life itself. Brilliant! There is deep meditation here -- Adam Williams, author of THE BOOK OF THE ALCHEMIST Engaging and contemplative -- Caroline Moorehead * TLS *

[A] brilliant memoir -- Mariella Frostrup
