This is a great book.
It’s a story about Mafalda a nine-years old girl, who have an inherited eye disease. Soon after a few months Mafalda will go blind. She measures her vision as to how far she can see in these months: what distance can she see between her and the cherry tree.
It is a sad story but somehow it is very nice!
Can’t wait to read the next one when Mafalda is 13 years old!
