Pupa tal-Porcellana

by Sharon Calleja

Tinkiser il-hemda tal-lejl. Mghannqa mal-pupa tal-porcellana, mohbija qalb il-friex, ezatt magenb ohtha t-tewmija Shona, ic-ckejkna Anouk bdiet tismaghhom resqin. Passi. Hsejjes. Il-bieb beda jzaqzaq bil-mod. Ftit kienet taf li dak il-lejl kien se jbdiddlilha hajjitha ghal dejjem. Il-pupa tal-porcellana u hi. Hi u l-pupa tal-porcellana.

Ta' min kien dak il-lehen imsahhar li Desain sema' jkanta minn gol-katusa tal-fabbrika abbandunata?

Desain jahlef vendetta fuq zijuh Lazaro Casteligno. Izda lil min jara fil-ballu tal-maskri? Min kienet tassew Scarlet? U x'rabta kellha mal-pupa tal-porcellana? Kienet tassew hi l-qattiela... jew kien hem aktar sigrieti mistura wara l-hitan tal-villa, ghajnejn ma jidhrux u riflessi ta' nies li suppost m'ghadhomx hajjin, mohbija fid-dellijiet tal-mirja?

Pupa tal-Porcellana ... mill-Ingilterra lejn Malta u lura lejn l-Ingilterra sabiex jinkixef finalment is-sigriet tal-passat tac-ckejkna Anouk u tal-pupa li kienet salvatilha hajjitja, fejn xejn mhu kif jidher u dak li jidher ikun qed iqarraq bik... sal-ahhar nifs... sal-ahhar pagna.

I do not like to read much in my native language, however I decided to give this a try after a lot of recommendations form various individuals.
I was really glad that I read it. It was a different kind of story that I usually read, however I was hooked since the beginning and the ending is quite unexpected!
If you are like me and read mostly in English, do read this book :)

Kien ilni zmien ma naqra ktieb bil-Malti u wara li smajt hafna tifhir fuq l-awtrici, rajtu l-librerija u sselliftu. Kont ghadni ma spiccajtx il-ktieb ta' qablu, u ghalhekk selliftu lil ohti li qratu f'inqas minn gimgha (lejla minnhom hassret il-pjan biex tohrog biex tkun tista tkompli taqrah)!

Storja li zzommok ghax jigru hafna affarijiet fiha, anka jekk taqra ghaxar pagni biss. Dhalt fl-istorja u stajt nimmagina l-karattri; kif jidhru u x'qed ihossu. It-twist lejn l-ahhar ma kontx qed nistenniha.

Diga xtrajt Friefet u Passju tal-istess awtrici.
