OLDER FICTION
Bach, Tamara

Girl from Mars

(2) YA Translated by Shelley Tanaka. Fifteen-year-old Miriam is bored to death in her small German town. Then she starts hanging out with Laura, sorting through a (mutual) attraction, and wondering what it means to love another girl. Very European in its spare style and nonchalant depictions of drinking and drug use, Bach's nuanced portrait of small-town ennui is a fresh, detail-driven approach to a journey of self-awakening.
