Reseña del libro "Can't"
In an unnamed town lives Nena-surely one of the world's greatest eccentrics.Water burns her skin, to the extent that she can neither drink it nor bathe in it;she survives on 'water capsules' and does her ablutions with a mix of herbs andplants. She speaks several languages and still grieves about the books that wereher childhood companions-that her heartless brother had thrown into the river.And she exults in telling stories about her late husband's affairs-with a laughterthat precludes sympathy.Then, in her seventies, she embarks on a journey to track down all her husband'slovers. The narrator, a boy of seventeen, whom she calls Tata (though that is nothis real name) accompanies her on this mission. By journey's end, he has learntthe most startling truth about her-what it is that she can't do-and what it ledher to do.Laced with humour and a raw wisdom about life, Shinie Antony's lyrical proseturns this strangely compelling story into a believable fantasy.
