L' aria innocente dell'estate
Nell¿Inghilterra dei primi anni Trenta, la quattordicenne Edith Mather vive con la sua famiglia in una fattoria. Il paesaggio rurale è di una bellezza mozzafiato, ma la vita in campagna è dura, e la Grande guerra e la Grande depressione si sono lasciate alle spalle una comunità impoverita e timorosa. Edith è «una strana bambina», si sente irrimediabilmente diversa da tutto ciò che la circonda e preferisce la compagnia dei libri ai giochi con i coetanei. A turbare la quiete di un quotidiano scandito dalle leggi della natura è l¿arrivo di Constance FitzAllen, giornalista di Londra giunta in paese per scrivere sugli usi e costumi dei contadini del luogo. Fin dal primo incontro Edith è ammaliata da questa donna estroversa e libera, che indossa pantaloni da uomo. Constance sembra l¿amica e la mentore ideale per lei, ma si dimostrerà molto diversa da come appare: porta infatti con sé idee politiche che si riveleranno insidiose. Con l¿avvicinarsi del tempo del raccolto e l¿aumentare delle pressioni sull¿intera comunità, Edith dovrà riuscire a fidarsi del proprio istinto per salvarsi da un disastro imminente. L¿aria innocente dell¿estate è il commovente ritratto di una piccola donna costretta a diventare grande all¿improvviso in un mondo arcaico e patriarcale, ma anche un prezioso monito sui pericoli della nostalgia. Soprattutto, però, è un inchino alla bellezza della natura, in cui toni lirici e meravigliose descrizioni paesaggistiche fanno da contorno a una vicenda umana dal finale imprevedibile, raccontata con grande dolcezza e intensità.
