Efi returns to her village after the school year in the city. At fourteen, the holidays and the reunion with family and friends fill her with happiness. However, reality soon clashes with her dreams: she has reached marriageable age and her parents have promised her in marriage. Her dreams of continuing her studies to become an engineer and helping to improve the living conditions of her environment are shattered. Efi will fight by all means to avoid this cruel destiny that family and tradition have traced for her. A story full of hope about the terrible reality suffered by twelve million girls in the world every year: child marriage. The free and progressive voice of the protagonist rises as a denunciation, a call to attention to change things in this poignant but hopeful story from the Tiramilles collection, for readers aged 12 and up.
