«La casa dal grande giardino» is the children's and young adult novel by Penelope Lively, published by Mondadori in paperback (179 pages, in Italian).
Clare, aged fourteen, lives with her elderly great-aunts in a large house surrounded by a garden. Among the shadows she glimpses strange figures with painted faces, perhaps evoked by an object that came from afar and was found in the attic. Between dream and reality, she will discover the value of memory: only the past gives meaning to the present.
Novel originally published in English as «The House in Norham Gardens» (1974); this Italian edition, translated by Valentina Bettini and published in 1989, belongs to the Gaia junior collection.
A read for young people interested in fantasy and mystery, and for those who enjoy British children's and young adult literature.
Dame Penelope Margaret Lively is a British writer of fiction for both children and adults. Lively has won both the Booker Prize and the Carnegie Medal for British children's books.
