Amy is a true original & I can’t wait for everyone to read this.

May I pls GUSH UNRESERVEDLY about this book?! Irene Sola’s prizewinning debut is translated from Catalan by the absolute wizard Mara Faye Lethem. It’s narrated by a host of characters, animal, vegetable & mineral, & it TOTALLY WORKS. It is joy, laughter, poignancy: packaged.
