En su deslumbrante primer libro, Julie Orringer se sumerge en el mundo privado de la infancia y nos envuelve en sus miedos y anhelos: las amistades celosas y las amargas batallas entre hermanos, los padres que discuten y los chicos que no quieren bailar contigo. Luego, con una voz igualmente tierna y compasiva, nos recuerda esos raros y estimulantes momentos de victoria. 'Increíblemente bueno: las humillaciones, las crueldades y las pasiones de la infancia, prosa fresca y brillante, una escritora con un gran corazón y un agudo sentido de las pequeñas cosas que se ciernen sobre nuestras vidas', Monica Ali, Guardian.
