Comment:
A book that gently overturns gender stereotypes, enhancing women’s ability to solve even the most complex situations. A book which is sometimes comic and which jokes on men’s lack of resilience to difficult situations and illness. It is also a text on the magic of Christmas which remains in our societies, despite the spread of technology and of the principle of automation.
