El colibrí

The hummingbird is a small bird that has the ability to stay suspended in the air. Marco Carrera, an ophthalmologist who practices in Rome, was called a hummingbird by his mother as a child because of his short stature. The growth problem was solved with injections of hormones, but Marco has continued to be a hummingbird because of his ability to stay in the air despite adversity. One day his wife's psychoanalyst visits him in his office and, bypassing professional secrecy, warns him that she has discovered that she continues to correspond with a young love. It will not be the only conflict that Marco will have to face: he will have to take care of his sick parents -he engineer, she an architect-, who during their childhood staged a happy family that was not so happy; He must try to reconcile with his brother, who now lives in the United States, because the shadow of his sister's tragic end looms over them many years ago, and he must also take care of his granddaughter when his daughter, a single mother, stops being able to do so... A whole series of misfortunes and blows of fate that Marco will always know how to face without losing heart... This is a novel about life and its ups and downs, about resilience, empathy and love.
