Such a Fun Age : 'The book of the year' Independent

Romāns
Kad lielveikalā Emira tiek aizturēta par to, ka viņa “nolaupa” baltādainu bērnu, kuru viņa patiesībā auklē, tas izraisa sprādzienam līdzīgu notikumu ķēdi. Viņas darbadevēja Aliksa, feministe, blogere ar vislabākajiem nodomiem, apņemas visu sakārtot. Bet pati Emira šaubās. Viņai trūkst gan naudas, gan ticības, ka Aliksas iedomātā glābšana izdosies.
Starp abām sievietēm rodas cieša saikne, kas triecientempā izmaina visu, ko viņas domā - par sevi, viena otru un sarežģīto privilēģiju dinamiku.

When Emira is apprehended at a supermarket for 'kidnapping' the white child she's actually babysitting, it sets off an explosive chain of events. Her employer Alix, a feminist blogger with the best of intentions, resolves to make things right. But Emira herself is aimless, broke and wary of Alix's desire to help.

When a surprising connection emerges between the two women, it sends them on a crash course that will upend everything they think they know - about themselves, each other, and the messy dynamics of privilege.
