The Author on the Author:
"1957. I was born in Trieste on the 12th day of the 12th month, at 12 minutes past 12 o'clock. The sum of the years, 5+7, also makes 12. What should I make of this? Perfectionism. The wind was blowing, and it was raining. I already had a brother, Stefano, three years older than me. My mother's name is Anna, and my father's name was Giovanni..." --> (to Susanna Tamaro's website)
