Tita is a little girl of seven years, and she feels very different to other girls. She has perfect parents. She puts on plays with her friends, spies on adults, challenges her teacher, and even manages to read forbidden books. She should be happy. But she dreams of a world without meals, and keeps worrying about her mother’s whereabouts, spoiling her own life for no reason at all. Tita wants to be good – but how? – when the Latin traditions she adores clash with her deepest desires?
As her small town vibrates to age-old rituals on the verge of slipping away, Tita finds refuge – and a liberation- in books.
