What happens if the action of a well-known fairy tale is transferred to modern New York? Little Red Riding Hood’s name is Sarah Allen and she lives in Brooklyn. Her mom loves order more than anything and gets angry when Sara daydreams or asks too many questions. And the girl loves more than anything in the world to visit her grandmother in Manhattan. After all, my grandmother, a former music hall star, hates living by the rules, washing dishes and cleaning — she reads novels and plays foxtrots and blues on an out-of-tune piano. And one day Sarah decides to go to visit her grandmother herself … The Spanish writer Carmen Martin Gaite describes with exciting sincerity the world of a lonely child who feels like a stranger at home. However, real adventures await Sarah in Manhattan.
