Questa è la storia di un amore giovane. Di una coppia felice e inesperta, spaventata di scoprire, giorno dopo giorno, le molteplici forme dell’abbandono. Perché anche le famiglie possono soffrire di solitudine, proprio come le persone. Ad accudire in silenzio tutte le incertezze, oltre a prendersi cura del loro bambino, ci ha sempre pensato la signora A. Per questo, quando arriva un male a portarsela via, si spalanca in casa un vuoto improvviso. Nora e suo marito devono ancora accorgersi che il coraggio della signora A., ormai, appartiene anche a loro.È dentro le stanze che le famiglie crescono: strepitanti, incerte, allegre, spaventate. Giovani coppie alle prime armi, pronte ad abbracciarsi o a perdersi. Come Nora e suo marito. Ma di quelle stanze bisogna prima o poi spalancare porte e finestre, aprirsi al tempo che passa, all’aria di fuori. «A lungo andare ogni amore ha bisogno di qualcuno che lo veda e riconosca, che lo avvalori, altrimenti rischia di essere scambiato per un malinteso». È cosí che la signora A., nell'attimo stesso in cui entra in casa per occuparsi delle faccende domestiche, diventa la custode di una relazione, la bussola per orientarsi nella bonaccia e nella burrasca. Con le pantofole allineate accanto alla porta e gli scontrini esatti al centesimo, l’appropriazione indebita della cucina e i pochi tesori di una sua vita segreta, appare fin da subito solida, testarda, magica, incrollabile. «La signora A. era la sola vera testimone dell’impresa che compivamo giorno dopo giorno, la sola testimone del legame che ci univa. Senza il suo sguardo ci sentivamo in pericolo». Ci sono molti modi per raccontare una storia d’amore. Paolo Giordano ha scelto la via piú sensibile: registrare come un sismografo le scosse del quotidiano, gli slanci e i dolori, l’incapacità e il desiderio. Solo un piccolo naufragio, il primo fra i tanti che una coppia si troverà ad affrontare.

Like Family is a beautifully written, complex but uncomplicated, story of a family and their beloved nanny. We understand from the outset that Mrs. A has died of cancer. The focus of this book is not a long, drawn-out account of her death, but rather the story of how her life has influenced the family she cared for. The characters are realistically drawn, well-developed, and all likable even in their eccentricities . I appreciated the emotional honesty and lack of gratuitous melodrama. Thank toThis is a novella-length family drama about the bonding between a family and their housekeeper/nanny--an intimate and ultimately sweet look at relationships, told from a husband's point of view.
I enjoyed this book. It reminded me a lot of The Perfect Nanny by Leila Slimani, although without the tragic, violent ending. In both novels, a woman who is a nanny, maid and cook is wonderful in every way. The nanny makes herself indispensable to a busy two-career young couple. And because the nanny herself has no children or close family connections her employers child and their way of life becomes indispensable to her life. The nanny in Like Family is a 68-year old widow. The husband and wife
Beautiful. One of those books that are just perfect the way they are, I wouldn't want to change a thing. I didn't expect this much from a book this small, but this one proves size doesn't matter. I read his other book The solitude of prime numbers a long time ago and loved it then, but I was scared that maybe after all those years I would be disappointed if I re-read it or picked up another book by the same author. Luckily this wasn't the case and I think it's safe to say that I will most
This was a strange book to me-not sure of its message. Maybe, as the author states in the intro, just an homage to a woman who was important in his life? I do think Giordano did a great job of examining the intricacies of family relationships.
I was first introduced to the writing of Palo Giordano when I read 'The Solitude of Prime Numbers'. Though I enjoyed it, I felt it rather cold and disconnected from its emotional core. After reading 'Like Family' I have to think that this is a style or perhaps a thematic element of the author's writing.'Like Family' is a very short book, almost a novella, that is about a woman who comes into the lives of young couple to help the wife out through a difficult pregnancy. The woman who comes to help
