What if you woke up one day in the body of a 9-year-old girl, with all your adult memories?
This is the dizzying experience of Zofia, the eccentric and lucid heroine of this novel unlike any other.
Time becomes a playground, memory a driving force, and History a dancing partner. The story swirls between irony and gravity, memories and utopias, blending the fate of a child who knows too much with that of a world she wants to change.
Could she have prevented Chernobyl? Was she the one who destroyed the Berlin Wall? Did she launch the first #MeToo campaign? Yes, and she is also the real Greta, long before that other kid who took up her environmental fight again thirty years later.
You can’t tell present from future any more, let alone reality from fiction. And what’s the point? When fiction merges with reality, then you’re really living. And only then.
