Came into the world

What can you say about a story that pulls you to your hours to over 500 pages and captivates, fascinates you, then lets you down again, when dragged through the mud and then the first blood with a subtle instrument of writing that gets you where want? When I drink a book I happen more often swallow the whole duty, as the imaginary child of the proverbial soup. It is not the case with " Come to the world , "the latest novel by Margaret Mazzantini . Here it is caught and dragged to tug with all the violence that is in the crap of human brutality, but it is a parabolic path down that stands out from the steeples of falling, dives into the horror of a civil war to find his then balance, a certain form of horizontal stability in the sense of awareness that accompanies every experience abysmal, admitted that know how to look through the eyes of a destiny that is in things, a fate which in itself is neither good nor bad, because it is the meaning of things destined to end and, therefore, in a sense embodies the beauty. This story compelling, never boring, and in a sense antisublime is also in part a historical novel, a love story so unlikely as to seem slapped into the true story of a historical event - the siege of Sarajevo - so chilling that it seems invented . It is a story that will surprise you, without the artifice of plot twists but with the slow accompaniment to the truth than you expect, but to whom the author has lovingly prepared for you from the very first pages. Do not miss!
