The Turtle Who Loved Shakespeare. Gandolfi Silvana Aldabra.

Eya, ten-year-old Eliza's grandmother, believes that death can be outwitted—one only needs to transform into someone else and live on. Eliza loves her eccentric grandmother, with whom she shares not only the first letter of her name, but also a passion for art and Shakespeare: when Eliza visits her grandmother, they act out and read his plays aloud together, while Eya paints and teaches her granddaughter wisdom.
Eliza admits that her grandmother is a little strange and has changed and aged significantly lately. But she has no one to share her worries with—after all, her grandmother and Eliza's mother are on bad terms due to a long-standing misunderstanding and past grievances. But when Grandmother Eya suddenly begins to rave about the unknown Aldebaran and changes not by the day, but by the hour, becoming more and more unlike herself, Eliza realizes: without her help and support, her grandmother will not be able to fulfill her dream and achieve her longed-for freedom.
