About This Novel

This book is an "oral history" of folk records. "My" mother, a ninety-year-old woman with a belly full of stories, tells about the "past" where coldness and warmth intertwined. Every ordinary and subtle event described in the novel highlights the historical reality of social changes; the fate of every little person who experiences it is soaked in the unexpected joys and sorrows of life. The narration of a 90-year-old man who has been a teacher for decades is delicate, euphemistic, calm and peaceful. It is full of human warmth and a touch of sadness, as well as tolerance and detachment from the vicissitudes of the world. It is a literary work with sincere feelings.
