THE LILAC TREE
by Maria Teresa Andruetto (Author), Liliana Menéndez (Illustrator).
Is it a tale or a poem?
It is a story of love, searching and waiting in the shade of a tree that was far to touch us closely. A parable of the journey in search of what we want. This book is a tale with a circular structure that is fragmented into silences that can only be filled by the reader.
The illustrations at times open the game with ambiguity and lead to the senses beyond what the words say, maintaining a delicate thread of connection to the text.
An exquisite and suggestive book, that talks about warmth and serenity, and the discovery of happiness.
