Notes on my Family

A vivid present tense account of life in a dysfunctional family told by a perceptive thirteen year old girl. Lou's dad is in a relationship with a sixth former and her mum is caught shop-lifting and has a 'psychotic episode', but Lou stays cool keeping us informed of the changing scenes through her brilliant and understated notes.

O relatare viu a timpului prezent despre viata intr-o familie disfunctionala, spusa de o fata perceptiva de treisprezece ani. Tatal lui Lou este intr-o relatie cu un al saselea fost, iar mama ei este prinsa la furt si are un ,,episod psihotic", dar Lou ramane rece si ne tine la curent cu scenele in schimbare prin notele ei stralucitoare si subestimate.
