Overview

Lia e Cassie sono amiche dall'infanzia, ragazze congelate nei loro fragili corpi, in competizione in un'assurda gara mortale per stabilire chi tra loro sarà la più magra. Lia conta maniacalmente le calorie di tutto quello che mangia e di notte quando i suoi non la vedono si sfinisce di ginnastica per bruciare i grassi. Le poche volte che mangia, cerca di ingerire cose che la feriscono, come cibi ultrapiccanti, in modo da punirsi per aver mangiato. Si ingozza d'acqua per ingannare la bilancia nei giorni in cui la pesano. Quando eccede nel cibo ricorre ai lassativi e passa il tempo a leggere i blog di ragazze con disturbi alimentari che si sostengono a vicenda. Nel suo libro più toccante e poetico dopo Speak, finalista al National Book Award, l'autrice di best seller, L. H. Anderson esplora l'impressionante discesa di una ragazza nel vortice dell'anoressia. Titolo originale: Wintergirls (2009).
