Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt - Oscar and The Lady in Pink
In this deeply moving novella by Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt, we meet Oscar, a ten-year-old boy living in a hospital, diagnosed with terminal cancer. As he faces the end of his short life, Oscar forms a powerful bond with one of the hospital's volunteers, affectionately called "Granny Rose"—a former professional wrestler turned caretaker, full of imagination and heart. When Oscar learns he has only 12 days to live, Granny Rose suggests a unique way to cope: treat each of the next 12 days as if they were 10 years. Through letters addressed to God, Oscar shares his reflections on love, family, fear, and growing old—all within the span of those final days. This poignant, beautifully written story is both heartbreaking and heartwarming. It offers a profound meditation on life, death, and the importance of living every moment with courage and meaning.
