Novità: le ultime uscite

Che cosa significa essere genitori? Cosa succede se non si riesce a diventarlo? Quali implicazioni porta con sé scegliere di mettere al mondo dei figli oppure di non farlo? E figli, si smette mai di esserlo? La genitorialità è una tra le sfide più complesse a cui uomini e donne sono chiamati, un viaggio dagli esiti imprevedibili, persino quando si decide di non intraprenderlo.

Told through the amused, watchful eye of a local narrator, Our New Neighbors at Ponkapog is a gently ironic portrait of curiosity, manners, and the subtle dramas that unfold when privacy meets polite scrutiny.
