A gem! A star! Marie-Helene has crafted an achingly human about an alien named Adina.
Adina is born on the day Voyager 1 is sent into the Cosmos and must grow up as a human girl in Philadelphia. We follow her life as she reports back to her home planet (via Fax Machine) about the human condition.
What a book to open 2024 with!
