Book lovers never spend summer alone.
3 killer books hacks to enjoy your time by the sea or wherever you want.
Su Bristow, Sealskin
“For the first time in his life, he felt the sensation to have the right to exist”
A beautiful and terrible impossible love fable.
Have you ever heard about selkie?
Do you love a suspended-in-time setting where just the story counts?
Do you love stunning dialogue and life-changing revelations?
Do you think love is a silent and at-a-glance understanding?
Yes, you do. This is your book. A story about commitment to have a reward back from a huge mistake and to pay your dues.

The Overstory, Richard Powers
“This is not our world with trees in it. It’s a world of trees, where humans have just arrived.”
“You can’t come back to something that is gone.”
“There are a hundred thousand species of love, separately invented, each more ingenious than the last, and every one of them keeps making things.”
Just to start…stunning, isn’t it?
The book? A monumental story where trees are the custodians of nature’s language and words. (For connoisseurs).
The structure? Original. Every character — apparently disconnected with the others — is introduced by a tree conditioning his life. Each chapter starts with a little black and white picture of that tree.
When the entanglement begins, every scene is interrupted by another picture: a slice of trunk.
If you think our planet can be saved by the concrete connections of human beings deeds, if you think nature deserves love, this is the book to put your nose in, smelling the scent of trees.

A ship made of paper, Scott Spencer
“All that he asks is staying in the same room with her, seing what she wears, looking into her eyes to guess if she slept well, making her smiling, feeling his name on her lips”.
How does desire look like?
What is the meaning of love?
And what if you are cheating on your partner?
This stunning book will not disappoint you, but it could be disturbing, because you cannot do anything but putting yourself completely in the story.
How naked should you like to be?
(For my Italian Fellows: Un nave di carta, Scott Spencer, Sellerio Editore)
