Rossana Marinetti es una abogada implacable y amargada que ha denunciado a casi todo el mundo. Su vida cambia el día en que Omar H., un niño refugiado, se cae de una rama de su nogal. Para poder quedarse con él, sostiene ante el juez que el niño es una nuez y que, según una antigua ley, todo fruto que cae de su árbol en su jardín le pertenece. Los vecinos declaran a favor de Omar, mientras el niño recuerda cómo huyó de un país en guerra. Una novela tierna, sorprendente y conmovedora sobre el refugio y las segundas oportunidades.

English Translation

I Am a Walnut

Rossana Marinetti is a relentless, embittered lawyer who has sued nearly everyone she knows. Everything changes the day Omar H., a refugee boy, falls from a branch of her walnut tree. To keep him, she argues before a judge that the child is a walnut, and that by ancient law every fruit falling from her tree in her garden belongs to her. Neighbors testify on Omar's behalf, while the boy remembers fleeing a country at war. A tender, surprising, and quietly powerful novel about refuge, law, and second chances.
