Lou Connor, a sixteen-year-old Australian, travels to the United States as an exchange student and leaves behind her life of poverty in Sydney. With the Harding family in Chicago, her need to be accepted clashes with that household's obsession with perfect happiness, in a psychological portrait of the transition to adulthood.
This Spanish edition is a translation of M. J. Hyland's first novel, originally published as How the Light Gets In.
For readers of psychological fiction and coming-of-age novels, with an adolescent protagonist and family backdrop; also for book clubs.
