Description

A gritty, heart-wrenching novel about bruised purity on the town's feral streets—the amazing debut of the spectacular fictional expertise Heather O'Neill dazzles with an initial novel of amazing prescience and energy, a quietly subtle however searingly efficient tale of the small living on the streets—and the strength, senses, and fortune essential for success. At thirteen, Infant vacillates between youth luxuries and person attraction: still-young enough to pull her toys around in a plastic luggage yet old enough to understand significantly more than she should about metropolitan cruelties. Motherless, she lives with her dad, than he does of his child Jules, who takes better care of his heroin habit. Infant's present is just a guru for rotating tales and for cherishing the little particles of joy that fall under her lap.
