Oscar e la dama rosa
Oscar e la dama rosa | Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt
6 posts | 12 read | 1 to read
Testa Pelata ha dieci anni e il soprannome gliel'hanno dato per via del cranio completamente pelato a causa delle cure per il cancro a cui si sottopone. La sua vita trascorre in ospedale, in un reparto riservato ai bambini con malattie gravi, i suoi unici amici. Soffre, sa che cure e trapianti non hanno avuto buon esito, sa che presto morir, eppure quello che a prima vista sembrerebbe un quadro funesto si rivela una meravigliosa e movimentata avventura per merito di Nonna Rose, una dama rosa, come vengono chiamate le volontarie che prestano assistenza ai degenti, per via, appunto, del camice rosa che indossano. Nonna Rose trasforma gli ultimi dodici giorni di vita del bambino in unepopea rutilante di avvenimenti, gli fa vivere lesistenza che non vivr, lo mette in grado di vedere esauditi desideri che non avrebbe avuto il tempo di desiderare.

This is pretty sad. The English title is Oscar and the Woman in Pink. Basically Oscar is dying and Mamie Rose comes up with ways to get him through it. It's epistolary with Oscar writing letters to God.

IuliaC @vlwelser Hard to say, I've read so many by him and enjoyed them all! I think the ones I liked most are "L'évangile selon Pilat", "Lorsque j'étais une oeuvre d'art" and the short story collection "The most beautiful book in the world" which includes "La rêveuse d'Ostende". I actually found out about him through the theater play "L'hôtel des deux mondes" some years ago 3y
vlwelser @IuliaC Thank you! It seems like every time I read a book I end up adding 3 more to my wish list. Thankfully my library seems to have some of them. 3y
IuliaC @vlwelser It happens all the time 😊👍 It's difficult when the libraries don't have them 😁 3y

Please. Ask me if I needed more books to read.

Already like 20 pages into the tagged one. Despite the fact that I have a different book that I brought from home sitting on my desk.

kspenmoll Always need more books to read! 3y

I first read that book with my grade 5 and 6 students. It was just SO great to see them gravitate with me around all the emotions that comes with the book. They were asking me non stop to continu reading it for them. I loved it as much as they did.

#betweennovemberspages for today is ‚short & sweet‘. This was very short and very sweet. Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt‘s ‚Oscar and the Lady in Pink‘ is a bittersweet little book that entertained me on a very long train ride to Munich. ?
