Description
Lost Words by Nicola Gardini is a powerful coming-of-age tale set against the backdrop of tumultuous social change in 1970s Italy. Through the eyes of Chino, a young boy struggling to find his place, we see the world through the lens of his small apartment building, where gossip and conspiracy reign. Here, Chino finds an unlikely companion in Amelia Lynd, an elderly British woman who introduces him to the world of literature and offers a counterpoint to the harsh realities he's known. As their bond grows, so too does Chino's understanding of language, culture, and the power of words. This is a thought-provoking exploration of identity, community, and the transformative impact of literature on our lives.
