(3) YA Translated by Susan Ouriou. Fourteen-year-old Mirabelle lives cloistered with her mentally ill mother in a small apartment. Mira is lonely and friendless until vivacious Catherine joins her art class and the two become inseparable. Cath teaches Mira about living life to the fullest, including spending time with boys. After tragedy strikes, Mira learns self-confidence and independence. The heavy, dark story, translated from the French, is lyrically told.
