review 1: This was an enjoyable little book and the first of its type I've read. It was from the viewpoint of a Polish teenage girl who has moved to England and suffers from bullies, teen issues, feeling and looking different. Her dad had left before her and her mum, but is not to be found when he arrives and has started a new life without them. The thing that makes the book special is the structure, it is set out, almost as a series of poems with the title being the first words in her latest reflection. Sounds weird but it is effective. Not completely sure what the title is getting at. A quick evening read, but the text resonates and I think will stay with me.
review 2: Die Versform (sofort kommen alte Vorurteile - "künstlich", "nicht lesbar" - hoch) verschwindet aus d... moreen Gedanken, einmal angefangen zu lesen. Die Geschichte über das polnische Mädchen in England, dessen Mutter nach dem Vater sucht, der die Familie verlassen hatte, wie es sich in der Schule fühlt als die Andere, der emotionale Rückzug zuhause, aufblühende erste Liebe, die Geschichte packt und braucht nicht mehr Worte oder längere Sätze, um das Wesentliche des Fremdseins zu vermitteln. less
