About the book: 2010 / The girl Eliza loves her artist grandmother very much, despite all her oddities. And how can you not love it if you can talk about anything with your grandmother and play all of Shakespeare’s plays by heart? But time passes, and the grandmother needs help more and more - she almost cannot move on her own. Without Eliza's support, Grandma Eya, who decided to outwit death, will never be able to realize her dream, and she dreams of something completely incredible... A modern philosophical fairy tale by the famous Italian children's writer Silvana Gandolfi, “Aldabra. The Turtle Who Loved Shakespeare" is about the fact that at any moment in one’s life, anyone can realize their dream if there is at least one person nearby who can understand and support. The book was published with the financial support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Italian Republic.
