The novel follows the story of a young girl named Ginevra, who grows up in a household where she feels neglected and misunderstood. Despite her gentle and kind nature, she is often overlooked and her needs are not fully understood by those around her.
Ginevra’s struggles highlight the challenges she faces in seeking recognition and affection in a society that often fails to appreciate her true worth. The story explores themes of isolation, the impact of misunderstanding on personal growth, and the quest for genuine connection.
A charming slightly old-fashioned book (a lucky find in a secondhand book truck) and definitely worth a read. Charming albeit rather sad little story that warns against favouring one small child at the expense of paying attention to the silent and unnoticed tribulations of the other (sibling).
