Such a funny age. Kylie Reed

A bright literary debut: the book immediately ended up in American, and then world lists of bestsellers. Emir-a young black-legged graduate of the university-is working as a bebitter, looking after the little daughter of a successful business woman Alik. Once in the late evening, Alik asked Emir to urgently take the girl out of the house, because an emergency happened. Emir leads the ward to the shopping center, from boredom they begin to dance to music from the mobile phone. The guard, seeing a white girl, accompanied by a black girl, decides that the child was kidnapped and tries to detain Emir. An absurd incident becomes a catalyst for a whole chain of unforeseen events and acquaintances, rethinking of oneself, his relationship with the world and outlook on life - both for Emira and Alik.

“Such a funny age” - the story of privileges, class , social and racial differences. But first of all, this is a fascinating story, from which you can’t come off. This is a book about young - current and yesterday, about their anxieties and aspirations, about illusions and deceptions, and, of course, about love. This is a book about the age that is both wonderful and tragic, and, of course, funny - from the outside.
