Earrings on the Hazelnut Tree

Montse Homs
Cristina Zafra

"A novel that nimbly and delicately moves between reality and fantasy."

Arracades d’avellaner is a true to life novel with a touch of fantasy, in which the main character is a seven-year-old girl who enjoys a stable and orderly family life until the day her mother announces to her daughter that she’s been offered a job that will take her far from home. The little girl’s fox friend and a world of fantasy help her deal with her mother’s absence and the associated challenges.
Montse Homs’ debut novel stands out for its distinctive features: the juggling of two parallel worlds, its poetic air and clear vocabulary, and all written in a style that resonates with young children.
