Memories

I have been remembering this book from my childhood a lot recently.  I think it's relevance to today is incredibly apparent.  

"in the ruins of an amphitheatre just outside an unnamed Italian city lives Momo, a little girl of mysterious origin. She is remarkable in the neighbourhood because she has the extraordinary ability to listen — really listen. By simply being with people and listening to them, she can help them find answers to their problems, make up with each other, and think of fun games. The expression "go and see Momo!" has become synonymous withpanacea and Momo has become the friend of everyone, especially honest street-cleaner Beppo and poetic tour guide Guido (also known as "GiGi Thompson")."


The book is titled Momo by     Michael Ende
