Pieces of Me

I'd like to thank the author for sharing Mira, a beautiful, fragile, fractured creature, with the girls of the world. Hopefully they will see reflections of someone they know in her, perhaps even themselves, and make the effort to help her fly. Kudos to the translator, as well, for keeping the French phrasing and nuance intact.

Devastatingly lovely prose, characters whose complexities are shown in simple strokes, and a rich, deep portrayal of loneliness and compassion make this a must-read for young women, middle-school aged and up.
