Gaiman ha scritto un romanzo pieno di quelle cose che nell’infanzia ci mandano in brodo di giuggiole, anche se a volte ci spaventano a morte: mi ricordo di fantasmi nei sotterranei della scuola (lunga storia), di ritrovamenti di antiche lettere (un banale foglio di carta volato da una finestra e maltrattato dal mondo esterno) e di giardini segreti («Non dovete andare di là, non possiamo tenervi d’occhio lì» non ha mai fermato nessunu bambinu).
Crescere è un lavoro sporco e spesso non ci riesce neanche troppo bene: così finiamo per portarci nell’età adulta tutta una serie di zoppie con le quali cerchiamo di convivere, o addirittura guarire se abbiamo fortuna. Il protagonista de L’oceano in fondo al sentiero vive una di quelle avventure che stravolgono una vita, continuando a influenzarla anche quando gli eventi si perdono nelle nebbie del tempo.
Ho amato molto il modo in cui il sovrannaturale entra in questa storia e la naturalezza con la quale viene accettato da un bambino che sa perfettamente quando è il caso di disubbidire ai genitori e di dare retta ai consigli della migliore amica. Quando poi la famiglia della suddetta migliore amica è composta da donne che sanno il fatto loro non c’è storia: bisogna affidarsi alla loro maestria e alla loro saggezza.… (altro)
