The Adventures of Jill Berrisford

Meer over het boek

This is the story of a young boy and his piano. The young boy is an autistic child with other problems as well, but has a great ability and passion for music. As he grows older life deals him many pleasures and, at the same time, as many problems. Success mingles with loneliness, while optimism and depression alternate between periods of mental aberration. The story is told by him as he sees the world through his eyes, which is different from the way that a normal person might see it. In following his point of view and by witnessing his reactions it is hoped that the reader might become more aware and develop a deeper understanding of people whom we consider to be mentally abnormal and function on a different level.
