Perfection, utter perfection. Everything about this book is divine. I was a little nervous reading it as it has had so many fabulous reviews, favourite read endorsements, you must read this etc etc. So some trepidation at impending disappointment. Not at all.
The story of a little girl, abandoned and alone, who grows up all by herself, solely reliant on her instincts, her curiosity and intelligence as she carves a place for herself in the unique ecosystem she lives in, as unique as she is. Kay faces down prejudice, unwanted attentions, betrayal and disappointment. At all times she trusts her inner voices, her own sense of self, and gives a completely new meaning into the idea of aloneness. I loved, loved, loved this. All power to this young girl - give this book to your daughters and the young women in your lives.
