Description
Endless summer days, ice cream and the salty water of the sea: dive into the wonderful, lively and imaginative world of little Fabio, who grows up with an absent father.
Fabio Mancini, six years old, grows up in a small Tuscan coastal town. He lives there with his sweet, silent father, protective mother, his grandmother and his nine great-uncles, who take him fishing and look for mushrooms with him. His chaotic, enormous family seems invincible until an unexpected event on Christmas Eve turns their world upside down: Fabio's father falls from a ladder and falls into a coma. Fabio decides to read to his father every week from one of his textbooks, which he buys every week at Mrs. Stella's stall. But will his father ever wake up?
In the deep is a witty, moving novel about the transition from childhood to adolescence, full of fear, first loves and naivete.
