Tina is five years old and lives with her father and grandmother. On Sundays, they go to another town to visit her mother and brother Pedro, who has Down syndrome.

Tina would like them all to live together, but she has no idea how to make that happen. She is only sure that she wants a united family.

But Tina manages to turn the family legacy, the stories of abandonment by her mother and grandmother, around through the relationship she builds with her brother.

A moving novel about a fragmented home and a girl who wants to bring it together through love.

The reader will find a narrative voice reminiscent of Saer’s Glosa, and where endearing characters are built with great subtlety. Revista Ñ

A book that cuts through your heart. Marina Colasanti

Maria Teresa Andruetto, who knows very well children and juvenile literature, offers us a story woven with small and precious details as well as with a clever use of repetition, creating an atmosphere able to catch and seduce readers of all ages, like a sweet and soothing lullaby. María Gross, Liberweb, Italy

To read Andruetto is not like reading any kind of narrative for young people; it is rather to face the challenge of literature. The shock of an authentic and deeply rooted writing, very different, in many cases, to the rest of books for young people, which are too easily printed today. Cuatro Gatos Magazine
