Description

After the accident of her best friend Alex, fourteen-year-old Lou remains with her eyes closed, for reasons unknown. With closed eyes, she will also meet nine-year-old Dodo, who seems to have a secret plan for both her and himself. And when Dodo sets his mind on something, it's impossible to change it no matter how hard you try… A retired detective, the owner of a café of compassion, a woman who claims to have met an angel as a child, an old man and his goose are some of the adults who will help the two children solve the mystery: who is really responsible for the accident and Alex's disappearance? "What's happening? The words came trembling out of her mouth no matter how hard she tried to stay calm. "It seems like water is starting to enter the building," Dodo said, looking inquisitively at the floor around his boots and then at the space around him. Loukia was startled. A thousand and one thoughts passed through her mind, all leading to one. The already known one. How would she manage now? Alone? Just a few seconds later, she felt a touch on her hand. And then small fingers trying to intertwine with hers. "Come on. Don't worry. Let's go. I'll lead you." Dodo's voice sounded incredibly determined, and Lou felt a great relief that made her wonder. She nodded affirmatively. She had no other choice. And so, splashing through the water that had now reached her ankles, she let herself follow nine-year-old Dodo, among panicked people, voices, even screams, through the water-filled corridors. Excerpt from the book Angeliki doesn't write, she embroiders stitch by stitch. Alki Zei

Read an excerpt

In Spain, the raging storm relentlessly hammered the Alhambra palace for hours, which, however, resisted bravely, honoring its proud Moorish past. But the same could not be said for the orange trees in the famous orange groves of Valencia, and so hundreds of thousands of oranges of this late variety were swept away by the rushing torrents that flowed into the sea. Days later, the entire area, as well as the Mediterranean Sea, would emit not the scent of iodine but that of sour orange juice. In Paris, people loaded with whatever they hurriedly managed to grab were leaving the Île-de-France island homeless like refugees, accompanied by countless rats emerging disturbed from the already flooded sewers, as the Seine seemed about to overflow. The surprise and despair on their faces rivaled those of the Louvre Museum employees, each carrying a precious exhibit and accompanied by police officers, searching for a safe hiding place both for themselves and for the exhibits that no longer fit in the existing shelters.
