Clara and the Man with Books in His Window

Beschreibung

"Set in rural 1920s Argentina, ... Marâia Teresa Andruetto shares the true story of how her mother Clara, the daughter of a poor laundress, meets Juan, a wealthy and bookish recluse who never leaves his house because he is afraid society will not accept who he really is. [This is] a powerful tale about friendship and about the world available to us when we open a book, but also when we have the courage to be our true selves"--
