Jean-François Beauchemin delicately and intensely recounts the deep bond between two brothers raised in close contact with nature, always inclined to marvel at the beauties of existence. The narrator is the older brother, now a writer on the verge of sixty, who leads a secluded life in the countryside where he grew up, together with his wife Livia, and his inseparable animals. However, the true companion and protagonist of his days is the younger brother, who has been affected by schizophrenia since the age of thirteen. During their youth, an intense and traumatic episode deeply marks both of them: while it leaves the older brother with a sublime revelation about the meaning of life, it triggers in the younger brother the beginning of a gradual detachment from reality. Since then, their relationship transforms into one of care, listening, and constant presence, capable of withstanding the test of time and illness. With a delicate and profoundly human writing style, Beauchemin constructs a narrative in which every gesture, every memory, and every silence acquires universal value, revealing the strength of human bonds and their ability to give meaning to existence even in its most fragile territories. Un varco verso il giorno is a luminous book about the mind, emotions, and life.
