Brossura. Zustand: new. Traduzione di Katia Bagnoli. Milano, 2020; br., pp. 176, cm 14x21,5. (Narratori Moderni). Isobel ha nove anni e il suo compleanno si avvicina. Ma, come ogni volta, non ci saranno regali per lei. C'è solo una cosa che fa volare Isobel lontano dalle rigide regole che la famiglia le impone: leggere. Ma deve farlo di nascosto perché sua madre crede che non sia un'attività adatta a una bambina, che dovrebbe limitarsi a riordinare la casa e a preparare la cena. Isobel cresce alimentando la sua passione segreta di notte, alla luce di una flebile candela. Finché, a sedici anni, la sua vita non cambia radicalmente, quando è costretta a lasciare tutto, cercarsi un lavoro e una nuova sistemazione. È la prima volta che Isobel si scontra con il mondo. Con un mondo che non è solo la sua famiglia e il suo quartiere. È convinta di non avere gli strumenti per relazionarsi con gli altri. Le sembra di dire la cosa sbagliata, si sente fuori luogo. In fondo sua madre l'ha fatta sempre sentire così. Tanto che, quando incontra un gruppo di ragazzi che amano i libri come lei e passano le serate a discuterne, Isobel all'inizio rimane in silenzio. Ora che finalmente è in un contesto in cui può essere sé stessa, in cui può parlare liberamente di letteratura, ha paura. Ma piano piano le parole di Byron, Auden e Dostoevskij fanno breccia nelle sue insicurezze e le insegnano il coraggio di dire quello che pensa. Di far valere la propria opinione senza nascondere la cultura che si è costruita negli anni con le sue letture. Di aprire il cassetto in cui riposa il suo sogno. Il sogno di prendere una penna in mano e liberare quel flusso di parole che ha trattenuto per troppo tempo. Perché anche per una donna tutto è possibile. Amy Witting ha fatto della lotta per i diritti delle donne il suo manifesto. "La lettrice testarda" è un elogio della letteratura e della sua capacità di illuminare la realtà. Un romanzo di formazione sulla scoperta del proprio posto nel mondo. Una protagonista pronta a sfidare le convenzioni per decidere della propria vita in piena autonomia. Libro.…
