In a nutshell: Hard-nosed, if somewhat sentimentalized, story of a young Russian orphan who, before he's adopted by a nice Italian couple, insists on trying to find his birth mother. From the KLIATT starred review of the book, March 2006: "Simone is a brilliant 16-year-old, wise and funny; she is the narrator of this story of how she comes to know her birth mother, how she grows to love her and then must lose her. Sixteen-year-old Simone's life--busy with the normal complications of school, friendships, parents, and siblings--becomes impossible when her birth mother, who has previously been in contact only with her adoptive parents, begins to push for a face-to-face meeting. |
