Ca întotdeauna, amintirile mele îndepărtate sunt în special amintiri de „lumină”: la Sciacca văd o mare incredibil de albastră, aproape neagră, care scânteiază furios sub soarele de amiază, unul dintre acele ceruri ale amiezului de vară siciliană, încețoșat din cauza zăpușelii, o balustradă care mărginește un povârniș deasupra mării, un soi de chioșc în care există o cafenea, în stânga celui care privește marea. (Cafeneaua mai există și astăzi).

Am scris despre impresiile mele privind acest volum pe blog.

i don't care about this enough to hate it. the worst book i've ever read. yes, the worst one. and it was surely longer than 96 pages.

The title story is fantastic, and I would probably enjoy the other two more if I knew more about the history of Sicily.

The title story is excellent, the other two are a little less memorable.
