A profound, moving, beautifully illustrated novel about the importance of memory. In this story, Polish writer Cezary Harasimowicz<\/strong> introduces a very special narrator: the Mirabella<\/strong> tree.\u00a0Grown up in the Warsaw ghetto, Mirabella has seen History pass under her branches: the Nazi invasion, the Holocaust, Stalinism, but also the cement that ate away the green corners of the city<\/strong>. A bittersweet book that offers wonderful food for thought: if in the Jewish tradition planting a tree symbolises life that goes on, today this gesture can change our future, helping us to cope with the climate crisis we are experiencing.
