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 | È un libro che merita un'attenzione particolare e una concentrazione che al momento non potevo dedicargli, ma spero di trovare il momento giusto per ritornarci.
EN | This is a book that deserves special attention and concentration that I do not have at the moment, but I hope to find the right time to return to it.

IT | Non ce la faccio a leggere un libro sulla maternità in questo momento della mia vita. Ho troppi mummy issues irrisolti.
EN | I can't bring myself to read a book about motherhood at this point in my life. I have too many unresolved mummy issues.

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.

IT | I racconti delle @sonpei sono sempre evocativi e a tratti labirintici ma si ritrova sempre la strada
di casa. Questa fiaba arricchita dalle illustrazioni splendide di Marco Calvi ha toni antichi ma tocca temi moderni. Bellissima.
EN | The @sonpei stories are always evocative and at times labyrinthine but you always find your way home. This fairy tale enriched by the splendid illustrations of Marco Calvi has ancient tones but touches on modern themes. Beautiful.

IT | Io di manga non me ne intendo e ho approcciato questa lettura con aspettative forse sbagliate, ma dopo un inizio tiepido e apparentemente inconcludente la storia finalmente si apre a metà del secondo volume, anche se bisognerà comunque aspettare la fine del terzo per apprezzarne la circolarità.
EN | I don't know much about manga and I approached this reading with perhaps the wrong expectations, but after a lukewarm and apparently inconclusive start the story finally opens halfway through the second volume, but you still have to wait until the end of the third one to appreciate its circularity.
