The Character of Rain: A Novel
The Japanese believe that until the age of three children, whether Japanese or not, are gods, each one an okosama, or "lord child." On their third birthday they fall from grace and join the rest of the human race. In Amélie Nothomb's new novel The Character of Rain, we learn that divinity is a difficult thing from which to recover.

Este libro ha sido una grata sorpresa. La forma tan deliciosa en la que está escrito, permitiéndonos bucear por las reflexiones y pensamientos de su protagonista -una niña de dos años y medio- hace que sea una experiencia irrepetible. Me siento feliz de haberme topado con algo tan interesante y divertido. Me interesa leer más libros de la autora.
