Paolo Giordano’s debut novel received the Premio Strega 2008 and has already become an international bestseller. A coming-of-age novel about two lonely children who had traumatic incidents in their childhood, “Mattia and Alice emerge like ice sculptures against a human backdrop that the author animates, but which the characters themselves don’t treat as real.” - Liesl Schillinger, The New York Times Book Review
