DESTINI E FAVOLE: LA SCULTRICE DI STORIE
C'era una volta una donna che scolpiva storie. Le scolpiva in ogni sorta di materiale. All'inizio lavorava con la neve, il fumo o le nuvole, perché i loro racconti erano temporanei, fuggevoli. Scomparsi in un istante, visibili e leggibili soltanto da coloro che, per caso, erano presenti nell'intervallo che separa l'incisione dalla disintegrazione, ma la scultrice preferiva così.

5.0/5.0 stars - Stories among stories within stories. Beautiful words and a complicated plot. I started this book in January, set it aside, ordered it on Audible, listened a bit.

I’m not sure how many times I looked up from reading and told my husband how strange this book was. There were a few moments I almost gave up. But I didn’t. And now I’m in love. The more I process this dreamy Escheresque fairytale tapestry, the more I love it. I want to wander the halls of the Harbor and discover magical rooms and possibly get lost and found in time.
