Как-то так интересно совпало, что книги, которые читаю, про взрослеющих девочек и девушек.

1. "So be it" by Sarah Weeks

Аннотация: You couldnt really tell about Mamas brain just from looking at her, but it was obvious as soon as she spoke. She had a high voice, like a little girls, and she only knew twenty-three words. I know this for a fact, because we kept a list of the things Mama said tacked to the inside of the kitchen cabinet. Most of the words were common ones, like good and more and hot, but there was one word only my mother said, soof.

Although she lives an unconventional lifestyle with her mentally disabled mother and their doting neighbor, Bernadette, Heidi has a lucky streak that has a way of pointing her in the right direction. When a mysterious word in her mothers vocabulary begins to haunt her, Heidis thirst for the truth leads her on a cross-country journey in search of the secrets of her past.

2. "Детство Люверс" Бориса Пастернака.

3. И сейчас - "Краткий китайско-английский словарь любовников" Го Сяолу.
Супер!
Особенно балдею от работы переводчика.
Автор сама китаянка, писала на английском, роман про то, как девушка учила новый язык и приспосабливалась к новой жизни.
И вот всю эту катавасию надо было прикольно выразить на русском, с чем, мне кажется, переводчик справился.

Короче.
Вот.
