«Mia sorella è una foca monaca» is the novel by Christian Frascella, published by Fazi Editore in paperback (291 pages, in Italian).
A sixteen-year-old teenager on the outskirts of Turin in the late eighties: his mother has fled, his father is an authoritarian near-alcoholic, and his sister takes refuge in religion. Between fights and arrogance, he falls in love with the unattainable Chiara while the fall of the Berlin Wall and pop culture mark the atmosphere.
Part of the Le vele collection from Fazi Editore. The work received the Dioraphte Jongerenliteratuurprijs 2011 and was nominated for the Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis 2013.
For readers of coming-of-age novels: teenage protagonist and a tone between humor and cynicism, in the vein of The Catcher in the Rye.
