I picked up this book for my A-Z challenge and never thought I would discover such a masterpiece! I had no idea what the story was about, the title isn’t very evocative but so simple: we follow Zorrie, a radium girl, along her life. This story was so calm and so poetic. The simplicity of the prose is a huge bonus, as it goes perfectly well with how I imagined Zorrie. It felt like reading her own words. 

I highly recommend this short story. It can be a quick read but I think it is one of these perfect books to read slowly. Definitely a new favourite!
