La Cattiva Strada by Sébastien Japrisot

 Days ago I ordered several books at my book club. I was attracted by this one, a beautiful ad quick reading: La Cattiva Strada by Sébastien Japrisot.


It's the story of a young, and at first, prohibited love between a nun of 26 years and a boy of 14 years in Paris.

The two will start at first a frequentation but maybe without to understand the intensity of their love; slowly it will become more than clear to both of them what they proved and that they wanted to live their love and passion in peace; they will try all their best for doing it, imagining a society and a rural existence without complications. 

The drama will be bypassed by the certainty that they were doing the right thing and that they didn't do, after all, anything wrong; their life will change irreversibly but one thing will be more than clear: their love-story is forever. Wisely well written, the feelings of the two are portrayed with intensity clarity and purity, without any kind of sordid touch


but like the most limpid love story, in grade, with the time, to win the prejudices of people and society.


Beautiful!
