A realistic yet beautiful loving story about the everyday life of a severely autistic boy and his family.
Fourteen-year-old Pamela lives with her mother and her twin brother Jeremiáš. He has suffered from low-functioning autism and severe mental retardation since birth and requires the observation of strict rules and rituals: each day of the week has its own colour, cars always have to be parked the same way and he refuses to eat anything that isn’t round. This results in difficult-to-handle situations, specially outside where order cannot be maintained, that the author depicts sensitively, but with the necessary perspective.
An authentic description not only of the live of an autistic boy but also its effects on his relationships and the outside world. This visceral, yet in no way tragic book, shows how living with a severely disabled brother is possible thanks to understanding and a loving family background.
