Il mio piede sinistro - My Left Foot, by Christy Brown (1954, Ireland)

Christy Brown was born in Dublin on the 5th of June 1932. In a short time, his Mum found out there was something wrong about him and doctors confirmed his heavy cerebral palsy: the only body part he could control was his left foot. But his Mum and Dad support and the love of his many brothers and sisters helped him to grow stronger and brighter. Moving and surprising. [firehand, 2009] http://rubidu-2009-5.blogspot.it/

Sushi per principianti - Sushi For Beginners, by Marian Keyes (2000, Ireland)

Set in Dublin. Ashling works for a brand new magazine. She's young and lives alone, she's altruistic, outgoing, always ready to helping everyone who needs ...this is also due to her peculiar family history. Not so her apparently perfect friend Clodagh, bored by her perfect marriage, her perfect house, her perfect husband. Ashling works for Lisa, a beautiful manager from London, quite bossy and posh. And then Ted, the nice neighbor, Boo, the young homeless, Marcus, the selfish actor, Jack, the handsome and brilliant boss and so on. Engaging. [eyes, 1997] http://rubidu-1997.blogspot.it/
