Editorial review
A literary proposal that bets on emotional honesty and the mixing of genres. The inclusion of the story by the author's father gives it an added sentimental value that can connect with readers looking for works with an autobiographical and family background. Although the poetry is presented as predictable, the stories pose a clear conflict that invites reflection. A suitable book for those who want a short but intentional read.
