The protagonist feels foreign for being born in Brooklyn to mute parents who are from Italy. At six she returned to Italy with her mother, feeling foreign in her country of origin, she decides to move to London. This book is about the past and the present, a complicated childhood and a lonely adolescence. / La protagonista de esta historia –la propia autora– se siente extranjera por varios motivos: es hija de padres mudos, lo cual la apartó del mundo «normal»; desciende de una familia de emigrantes que salieron de Italia rumbo a Estados Unidos y nació en Brooklyn. Después, cuando con seis años regresó a Italia con su madre, fue extranjera en su país de origen, y sigue siéndolo cuando decide marcharse a vivir a Londres. Este es un libro sobre el pasado y el presente, sobre unos padres que vivieron un matrimonio tormentoso que acabó en divorcio, sobre una infancia complicada y una adolescencia solitaria, sobre la necesidad de descubrirse a sí misma… Las páginas de este volumen son un mapa de emociones, lenguas y lugares, una geografía definida por cua-tro escenarios centrales en la biografía de la autora: Brooklyn, la región de Basilicata, en el sur de Italia, Roma y Londres.
