IL RUMORE DELLE COSE CHE INIZIANO (THE SOUND OF THINGS BEGINNING)
Book ID/图书代码： 13851015B84821
English Summary/英文概要： Ada hardly remembers her biological mother who left her like burdensome package on Grandma Teresa’s doorstep at three years of age. The only parent she has ever known is her elegant Grandma Teresa, whose love is bigger than a house.
Grandma Teresa taught her to observe the olive trees grow, “always the same, but just a little taller”. Above all else though, she taught Ada to listen, because that is the only way to hear the sound of things that begin.
Now Ada is twenty seven years old. Her days are spent in the hospital, where lymph cancer is consuming her grandmother. Ada is in no rush for the day to come when she will be alone in the world. She just wants to stay there, in that big sterile hospital next to the only person in the world who ever loved her.
Ada doesn’t know that a new phase of her life is about to begin. She is deaf to the sound of things beginning, as her grandmother would say. But then she befriends Giulia, her grandmother’s nurse, and meets Matteo, the man who will teach her to love, truly and unconditionally. Both will confirm what her grandmother always told her: Love means paying attention.
As Teresa’s illness precipitates, Ada finds herself tottering on an emotional tightrope. Terrified at the idea of being abandoned again, she must overcome her fear and decide whether to fall or fly, grow up or hide.
Ada will understand that the only way to embrace the end is by listening and truly hearing… because even when it seems like things are ending, somewhere in the world they are also beginning.
And the sound is beautiful.
A love story of deafening silence.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： Ada的亲生母亲在她三岁的时候将她丢在了外婆Teresa的门口。因此她几乎已经忘记了自己的生母。她只认识一个长辈，就是优雅的Teresa外婆，外婆给了她无限的爱。
外婆教她观察橄榄树的成长，“看着是一样的，其实长高了一点。”最重要的是，她教会了Ada聆听，因为只有这样才能听到事物开始的声音。
现在，Ada已经27岁了。她的日子都在医院中度过，因为外婆正在一点一点被淋巴癌吞噬。她希望时间能过得慢一些，好让她晚一点独自一人留在这个世界上。外婆说她对事物开始的声音听而不闻。然后她和外婆的护士Giulia成为了朋友，并遇到了Matteo，一个教会她真诚、无条件去爱的男人。这两人都证实了外婆一直对她说的：爱就是关注。随着外婆的病情日益加重，Ada变得越来越脆弱。一想到将要被再次抛弃，她便感到恐惧。但她必须克服自己的恐惧，选择跌倒或飞翔，成长或躲藏。
Ada将最终明白，面对结束唯一的方法就是真正的倾听……因为即使一切看上去即将结束，在世界的某个地方，它们正在慢慢开始。
声音是美好的。
这是一个安静地震耳欲聋的爱情故事。（LYR）
