What a unique, beautiful novel. 
Adina grows up thinking she is an alien who has been left on earth to report to her species about humanity. She is a classic outsider with incredible insights into life on earth. 
This novel was written like poetry. When I finished it I just kept flicking back to random pages to reabsorb their wonderful words.
