I-II-III secondary school 1st grade
Naxos, midsummer, the Greek sea sparkling blue: for anyone else, it would be paradise, but not for Alma, a photoallergic woman forced to gaze at that landscape from behind a veil of fabric that protects her from the sun. And not for Ulysses, who gazes at that same expanse of water with trembling legs, terrified of storms like his ancient namesake. When the two meet, amidst the waves and the magic of myths, they learn to see themselves reflected in each other's gaze, discovering that accepting their own fragility is the first step to truly loving one another. Simona Dolce presents The Summer When I Stopped Being Afraid (Mondadori), a novel about courage and vulnerability.
