In questo romanzo Niccolo Ammaniti va al cuore della sua narrativa, con una storia tesa e dal ritmo serrato, un congegno a orologeria che si carica fino a una conclusione sorprendente: e mette in scena la paura stessa. Michele Amitrano, nove anni, si trova di colpo a fare i conti con un segreto cosi grande e terribile da non poterlo nemmeno raccontare.E per affrontarlo dovra trovare la forza proprio nelle sue fantasie di bambino, mentre il lettore assiste a una doppia storia: quella vista con gli occhi di Michele e quella, tragica, che coinvolge i grandi di Acqua Traverse, misera frazione dispersa tra i campi di grano. Il risultato e un racconto potente e di assoluta felicita narrativa, dove si respirano atmosfere che vanno da Clive Barker alle Avventure di Tom Sawyer, alle Fiabe italiane di Calvino.La storia e ambientata nell''estate torrida del 1978 nella campagna di un Sud dell''Italia non identificato, ma evocato con rara forza descrittiva. In questo paesaggio dominato dal contrasto tra la luce abbagliante del sole e il buio della notte, Ammaniti alterna, a colpi di scena sapienti, la commedia, il mondo dei rapporti infantili, la lingua e la buffa saggezza dei bambini, la loro tenacia, la forza dell''amicizia e il dramma del tradimento.

È ingenua, ma il suo sguardo sbilenco vede cio che gli altri ignorano. È vulnerabile, ma resiste alla ferocia del suo tempo. È un personaggio letterario magnifico. La voce di Redenta continuera a risuonare a lungo, dopo che avrete chiuso l''ultima pagina. Intenso, coraggioso, I giorni di Vetro e il romanzo della nostra fragilita e della nostra ostinata speranza di fronte allo scandalo della Storia. Redenta e nata a Castrocaro il giorno del delitto Matteotti. In paese si mormora che abbia la scarogna e che non arrivera nemmeno alla festa di San Rocco. Invece per la festa lei e ancora viva, mentre Matteotti viene ritrovato morto. È cosi che comincia davvero il fascismo, e anche la vicenda di Redenta, della sua famiglia, della sua gente. Un mondo di radicale violenza il Ventennio, la guerra, la prevaricazione maschile eppure di inesauribile fiducia nellumano. Sebbene Bruno, ladorato amico dinfanzia che le aveva promesso di sposarla, incurante della sua gamba matta dovuta alla polio, scompaia senza motivo, lei non smette di aspettarlo. E quando il gerarca Vetro la sceglie come sposa, il sadismo che le infligge non riesce a spegnere in lei listinto di salvezza: degli altri, prima che di se. La vita di Redenta incrocia quella di Iris, partigiana nella banda del leggendario comandante Diaz. Quale segreto nasconde Iris? Ha qualcosa che non va, la purina, dicevano. È la scarogna, ripeteva tranquilla mia madre, premendomi sulla bocca il seno. Pero ha una bella faccina, aggiungevano, e quel pero era il segno della loro compassione.Pero e buona, Pero e tranquilla. Pero non e come gli altri. Come che non piange? chiedeva la sera mio padre. Piangera. Le donne prima o poi piangono tutte.
