Un libro particolare. Nato in una situazione particolare. Una donna palestinese, colta, intelligente e spiritosa, tiene un "diario di guerra". Gli israeliani sparano ma, nella forzata reclusione fra le pareti domestiche, "spara" anche la madre del marito, una suocera proverbiale.

With lips slightly parted and eyes fixed on a point in the distance, a breathtaking marble portrait of Costanza Piccolomini appears alive.

E la sorte volle che questo incongruo monumento, oggi considerato un luogo d'arte, sorgesse a Chartres.
