Under the Loquat Tree

A collection of short stories about teenage emotions. A little boy with measles has to stay in bed while his older sister and her friend study for their exams; on a rainy day, children from who knows where come to take shelter in a library; a young girl, wrongly accused by her teacher, has to clean the natural science room... Eight little stories, seemingly harmless, are brought together here, describing with infinite delicacy the emotions of young adolescents at the dawn of their discovery of sexuality.
