It's a funny book Vecchie Noiose
by Gaia de Beaumont. This book published by Marsilio portrays a village populated only by very old people. These people live the last period of their existence in the most extravagant ways: there is who is still searching for sex, finding satisfaction thanks to the young boy of the crematory, all happy and joyous when he can transforms his place of work in an occasion for some wild sex with elderly ladies, or with a strange man apparently a sort of playboy; there is the old lady absolutely in war with his son, a pretty sad person who is fighting with her mother from a life, anxious of trying to better his existence and being less stressed; there is who enjoy to watch on TV every sorta of shows, reality; who lose tooth somewhere; deaf, or with problems of mobility, unsatisfied, memories runs here and there.
The arrival of Maria Gioconda a young person in the 60s so in comparison with most of them still a girl will be for some of these ladies reasons of curiosity.
Maria Gioconda didn't live a great existence. Yes, she was lucky with work; most of her existence spent at the post office located in the North of Italy, she assisted both her parents and now that they are both gone the decision of spending the rest of her time in a sunniest place with the sun everyday of the year.
The arrival and the discovery of this high percentage of old people will be seen surprisingly, although Maria Gioconda will tyr her best for being accepted and welcomed.
The end of this book is pretty shocking because decisions will be taken, and some existences of these characters in a way or another will change forever.
Highly recommended.
I thank Marsilio for the physical copy of this book.
