Sumár recenzie
Lou má nadpriemerné IQ, no v živote je rovnako stratená ako ostatní; keď stretne mladú bezdomovkyňu, jej naivné predstavy sa rozplývajú a nastupuje zmätok. Trinásťročné zmätené dievča sa učí, ako funguje život cez bystré, nie vždy spoľahlivé postrehy, ktoré kladú otázky o nespravodlivosti, zmysle šancí a dôsledkoch chýb. Delphine dokáže hlboko preniknúť do vnútra postáv aj v krátkej forme, a hoci dielo opisuje ťažobu bytia a deformuje vzťahy, nakoniec zasvieti malým svetielkom nádeje. Hodnotenie: 5/5.
