THE STORY

It's Sunday night, a few minutes after nine. Laura takes her grandmother's notebook down to the big kitchen, where Matteo is getting the school ready for Monday, and asks him what the first page says. Then, for the first time since she arrived, she calls her grandmother. This is the conversation you'll be able to say by the end of the lesson.
