Desde la azotea de su casa, el protagonista de Montedidio avista, bajo las hileras de ropa tendida casi todo Nápoles. Ése es su refugio, al aire libre, donde intima con su primer amor, María, y donde ejercita el lanzamiento, imposible y final, del bumerán que le regaló su padre. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
This is a story told by a boy in his thirteenth year, recorded in his secret diary. His life is about to chan≥ his world, about to open. He lives in Montedidio--God's Mountain--a cluster of alleys in the heart of Naples. He brings a paycheck home every Saturday from Mast'Errico's carpentry workshop where he sweeps the floor. He is on his way to becoming a man--his boy's voice is abandoning him. His wooden boomerang is neither toy nor tool, but something in between. Then there is Maria, the thirteen-year-old girl who lives above him and, like so many girls, is wiser than he. She carries the burden of a secret life herself. She'll speak to him for the first time this summer. There is also his friendship with a cobbler named Rafaniello, a Jewish refugee who has escaped the horrors of the Holocaust, who has no idea how long he's been on this earth, and who is said to sprout wings for a blessed few. It is 1963, a young man's summer of discovery. A time for a boy with innocent hands and a pure heart to look beyond the ordinary in everyday things to see the far-reaching landscape, and all of its possibilities, from a rooftop terrace on God's Mountain.
