I benefattori
Una Belfast segreta. Esistenze distanti, vite di giovani che si riconoscono, si sfiorano, si sfidano. Fino a veder cambiare inesorabilmente la linea del proprio futuro. Ragazzi e ragazze cresciuti tra case troppo ricche o troppo povere, che vivono desideri senza nome, subiscono ferite che nessuno vuole vedere. Le vite di Misty, Chris, Lyness e Rami vengono turbate, sconvolte, da una serata di violenze. I loro genitori, tra ipocrisie e paure, tentano di difenderne la reputazione, ma lo fanno tra silenzi e abbandono. Nei corridoi di una residenza per minori, tra i caffè del centro e le stazioni di polizia, sui sedili posteriori di un taxi, la bellezza e la violenza convivono, come le vittime con i carnefici, ognuno tentando di reinventarsi, di sopravvivere. I benefattori è una storia familiare e insieme straordinaria, un intreccio di destini lucido e tagliente come uno specchio spezzato. Con stile feroce e avvincente, muovendosi tra tenerezza e quieta disperazione, Wendy Erskine ci regala il ritratto di una città oscura che ancora non ha appreso a parlare onestamente di sé dopo le tragedie della guerra civile nordirlandese. Il suo è un romanzo che scava nel profondo di legami intimi, nell'ombra dei privilegi sociali, nella fragilità di comportamenti indicibili. È una storia corale, ipnotica, in cui le vite si urtano, si fanno del male, eppure si illuminano a vicenda. Un libro che ci guarda dentro, una storia che non potremo dimenticare.
