In Sue Monk Kidd's The Secret Life of Bees, 14-year-old Lily Owen, neglected by her father and isolated on their Georgia peach farm, spends hours imagining a blissful infancy when she was loved and nurtured by her mother, Deborah, whom she barely remembers. These consoling fantasies are her heart's answer to the family story that as a child, in unclear circumstances, Lily accidentally shot and killed her mother. All Lily has left of Deborah is a strange image of a Black Madonna, with the words "Tiburon, South Carolina" scrawled on the back. The search for a mother, and the need to mother oneself, are crucial elements in this well-written coming-of-age story set in the early 1960s against a background of racial violence and unrest. When Lily's beloved nanny, Rosaleen, manages to insult a group of angry white men on her way to register to vote and has to skip town, Lily takes the opportunity to go with her, fleeing to the only place she can think of--Tiburon, South Carolina--determined to find out more about her dead mother. Although the plot threads are too neatly trimmed, The Secret Life of Bees is a carefully crafted novel with an inspired depiction of character. The legend of the Black Madonna and the brave, kind, peculiar women who perpetuate Lily's story dominate the second half of the book, placing Kidd's debut novel squarely in the honored tradition of the Southern Gothic. --Regina Marler

Libro vincitore del Premio Strega 2025 Libro vincitore del Premio Strega Giovani 2025Lanniversario e prima di tutto un romanzo di liberazione, che scardina e smaschera il totalitarismo della famiglia. Ci ferisce con la sua onesta, ci disarma con il suo candore, ci mette a nudo con la sua verita. È lo schiaffo ricevuto appena nati: grazie a quel dolore respiriamo.Dieci anni fa, quel giorno, ho visto i miei genitori per lultima volta. Da allora ho cambiato numero di telefono, casa, continente, ho tirato su un muro inespugnabile, ho messo un oceano di mezzo. Sono stati i dieci anni migliori della mia vita. Si possono abbandonare il proprio padre e la propria madre? Si puo sbattere la porta, scendere le scale e decidere che non li si vedra piu? Mettere in discussione lorigine, sfuggire alla sua stretta? Dopo dieci anni sottratti al logoramento di una violenza sottile e pervasiva tra le mura di casa, finalmente un figlio puo voltarsi e narrare la sua disgraziata famiglia e il tabu di questa censura con la forza brutale del romanzo. E celebrare cosi un lacerante anniversario: senza accusare e senza salvare, con una voce scandalosamente calma, come scrive Emmanuel Carrere a rimarcarne la potenza implacabile. Il racconto che ne deriva e il ritratto struggente e lucidissimo di una donna a perdere, che ha rinunciato a tutto pur di essere qualcosa agli occhi del marito, mentre lui tiene lei e i figli dentro un regime in cui possesso e richiesta damore sono i lacci di un unico nodo. Lisolamento stagno a cui li costringe viene infranto a tratti dagli squilli di un apparecchio telefonico mal tollerato, da qualche sporadico compagno di scuola, da unamica della madre che viene presto bandita. In questo microcosmo concentrazionario, a poco a poco si innesta nel figlio, e nei lettori, un desiderio insopprimibile di rinascita essere se stessi, vivere la propria vita, aprirsi agli altri senza il terrore delle ritorsioni. Con la certezza che, per mettersi in salvo, da li niente puo essere salvato.Proposto da Emanuele Trevi al Premio Strega 2025 con la seguente motivazione:È una storia eccezionale, quella di Bajani, che infrange un vero e proprio tabu: nelle prime pagine del libro incontriamo il protagonista che ci racconta dellultima volta che ha visto i suoi genitori, prima di voltare le spalle per sempre alla sua famiglia, disgregata dalla violenza del padre-padrone e dalla muta, disperata sottomissione della madre. Per delineare unimmagine credibile di questo inferno domestico e della fuga senza ritorno del protagonista, il narratore ricorre alle risorse del romanzo per mettere ordine nei dati dellesperienza, spiccando quel salto mortale capace di condurlo dallinformita del reale alla consistenza e alla leggibilita del vero. Ed e solo cosi che una vicenda singola si trasforma in uno specchio in cui tutti i lettori possono intravedere qualcosa che non conoscevano direttamente, eppure li riguarda. Lanniversario e un romanzo avvincente e originalissimo, che colpisce chi legge come un pugno nella testa e nella pancia. Bajani non sente il bisogno ne di condannare, ne di perdonare, e ci racconta quanto sia impervia e necessaria la via del riscatto.

Ara és aquella hora que clareja, i el sol surt amb simfonia de porcs que grunyen i trenquen es paisatge amb un esqueix que separa sa vida de sa mort, es ser des no ser. I fins i tot qui no té ànima,
