    Spoiler free. Externally, the book is beautiful; it's simple, and the red color is pleasing to the eye. The pages were of good quality. The writing style seemed somewhat childish yet adult at the same time; on one hand, I saw phrases like "poof," and on the other, raw phrasing. It didn't hold my interest; I got bored and left it, and I don't easily abandon books. Regarding the story, I have to say that the back cover makes it seem good and interesting, but when you start reading, you realize that you don't learn much about the main character. I don't know if I would recommend it to someone, certainly not to someone looking for a more serious narrative character with cinematic storytelling

Description & Specifications

Who is Rita? What happened to her?

Classmates and teachers talk about the last year of high school of a young student, Rita, as they experienced it themselves. The lovestruck Vigo, the tender Roman, the eccentric Timur compose a portrait of Rita, outlining a life full of dreams, love, friendships, but also poverty and a broken family. However, a portrait that ultimately proves incomplete, as everyone is forced to admit that they did not know what truly tormented the young student, except for herself. No one imagined what had happened to Rita.

“I’m not sure how I could help you… I will do whatever I can. Rita was a good student, especially at the beginning of the year. In Philosophy, I have the children for several hours, I noticed her immediately. I should have realized something, I should have been a better teacher. All my colleagues think the same. How is it possible, as educators, not to notice something like this?”


Book Type: Novel, Social

    Read an excerpt

    My father always told me not to trust redheads. My father is a bit of an idiot. When he talks, especially after five in the afternoon, the words come out of his mouth like weak cannon shots, like the carriages of an old creaking train. They never have coherence, they are pointless. My old man could recite the recipe for an olive cake or announce the lucky lotto numbers, and no one would notice the difference. Even the guys he pays by downing dozens of pastis at night don't give a damn. They help me carry him out of the bar, throw me a "good night!", but I'm not sure they know his name. My father's name is Jacques, but his own father barely knew how to write and when he registered his birth he wrote it as "Yak". So most people call him by the name that the cousins of our cows in the Himalayas have. A very nice way to start your life.
