Aprašymas
*** THE US WORD-OF-MOUTH SENSATION, JUST LANDED IN THE UK ***‘One of the best books I have read this year’ KALIANE BRADLEY, Guardian ‘A remarkable funny-sad novel’ New York Times Meet Adina: a woman who has never felt at home on Earth Born at the moment when Voyager 1 is launched into space, Adina is a baby of unusual perception. Tiny and jaundiced, she reaches for warmth and light. As a child, she recognises she is different, not least because of her strange knowledge of a faraway planet. Then a fax machine arrives at home. Her mission is clear: she must report on the oddities of humankind.As Adina grows up, she dispatches transmissions on the terrors and delights of human existence. But then she starts to wonder. Is there a chance there are others like her out there?Adina sees our world differently. And her gentle, perceptive – and funny – observations offer a quietly joyful new view of life on Earth, the challenge of knowing ourselves and the miracle of finding our people in this vast universe.‘Beautyland is a miracle. I’ll be rereading it forever’ KAVEH AKBAR ‘Beautiful and hilarious and transcendent . . . Bertino is an other-worldly talent’ TOMMY ORANGE ‘A book that I will recommend to people for the rest of my life’ DAKOTA JOHNSON
