About this book

Two young lovers from different backgrounds see their relationship threatened by the gaze of others and strict social conventions. Their sincere attachment collides with fear of judgment and family expectations. Between desire and conformity, they must decide how far they are willing to go to preserve their love. The story highlights the weight of public opinion on individual choices. The author constructs a sensitive and direct narrative about the conflict between personal feelings and social pressure.

The benefits of the bilingual method with Line-by-line synced layout

Every line of the original has its translation directly beneath it, at the same height. You never lose your place: your eye drops one line and lands on exactly the sentence it just read. This is the layout that lets you open a book in a language you barely know without ever giving up, and compare the two texts almost word for word.

The excerpt shows the method using another book from the catalogue, not this one.
