Old Child by Jenny Erpenbeck

Old Child by Jenny Erpenbeck

When they found her, she was standing on the street with an empty bucket in one hand. When they asked her what she was called, where she lived, who her family was, her memory was a blank. So now, the girl has been deposited in an orphanage, where she dresses in the same clothes as the others, and attends the same lessons, but even here, she and they know that she doesn't quite fit. Somewhere, within the girl's sturdy, slow body, beneath her watchful silence, the truth about her identity and her past lies hidden, until - in spare, harsh prose - Erpenbeck draws it coolly out.
