Description
Room meets Stand By Me, in a thrilling tale of the loss of innocence
Exuberant and audacious.
The new Italian word for talent is Ammaniti.
A fearsomely gifted writer.
A master storyteller.
The story of a young boy who's heading towards adulthood. This book amazed me
Near perfect [...] this small gem of storytelling has the balance just about right.
Ammaniti's matter-of-fact, unadorned prose captures Lorenzo's angst-ridden, incomprehending world-view with a confident clarity, and as resolution back in the present day beckons, he plots the course of their filial relationship with a deft, understated skill
Me and You is a slim volume which takes only a couple of hours to read. But thanks to the skilfully presented Lorenzo and the poignant reconciliation of the boy with his half-sister, it lingers in the memory for much, much longer
