Lost on Me

Staff pick, Literature (by Sylvia)

This is a gem of a book and a good choice for anyone who wants to get back into reading because the narrator instantly gets your attention. It’s a family story set in Italy where the children are endlessly bored and their parents are filled with anxieties and worries. Immediately inviting and funny with a unique voice that I can only describe as spikey.

“… if there’s one good-or bad-thing in talking about literature, it’s that it always turns out to be a pretext to talk about something else.”
