Motherless child - Father/Daughter - Parent/Romance - Jealousy
Fourteen-year old half-orphan Elia has a good and intensive relationship
with her father. So she is most unhappy that he has found a new girlfriend,
Berta. Lying in hospital for an appendectomy, she has much time to think
about her life up to now, the new situation, and her total antipathy for
Berta. Alternating between Elia’s first-person perspective and the
occasional, more neutral third-person observations, Fina Casalderrey
develops a realistic, convincing picture of the emotional world of her young
protagonist. (12+)
