Aprašymas

The narrator of Linda Ferri's charismatic debut is a fortunate daughter, growing up with her family in Italy and France, leading a life of wonder and plenty. There is horseback riding. There arelate-night ice cream runs. There are neighbors, friends, and eventually, boys. For the time being, suffering means tickle torture, a lost turtle, or a bossy friend.
But, as she grows, the world aroundher begins to sharpen. Shadows appear and doubts begin to creep. And finally, the dangers of the adult world come into full view, first with the Paris riots of May, 1968, and then when tragedy strikes much closer tohome.
Refreshingly joyful, full of the things that children do, "Enchantments" is also something much more profound: an exploration of the lasting significance of the impressions of ouryouth. "From the Trade Paperback edition."
