Eine wunderschöne, mosaikhaft erzählte Geschichte, über dessen Inhalt man auf dem Einband nichts erfährt. Kurz gesagt geht es um die Freundschaft zwischen einer erwachsenen Frau in England (um die 35) und einem 16-jährigen afrikanischen Flüchtlingsmädchen.Die Besonderheit liegt in den wunderschönen ...
I had hoped this would be a really incredible gut-wrencher, heartbreaker of a book, but I feel like it didn't really live up to the potential it had. Like it was a little scattered and unfocused, so instead of showing us exactly what we should see, we are instead shown the things that lie around the...
One of my best friends sent me a text from abroad, telling me that I absolutely must read this book so that her and I could discuss it.

It was one of those things where I wanted to groan and roll my eyes at some of the first world problems tha...
Utterly depressing yet riveting read. Not sure it went fast because I wanted to learn what happens, or to make it stop. People in various states of loneliness and entrapment, some through their own doing, some because of the will of others.
I wanted to like this book, I really did...it seemed to have so much promise.
