A high-profile literary debut. The book immediately appeared in the American, and then world, bestseller lists, where it spent almost a year. Emira is a young black nanny looking after the young daughter of successful businesswoman Alix. One late evening, Alix asks Emira to urgently take the girl out of the house, because there is an emergency. Emira leads her ward to a shopping center, out of boredom they start dancing to the music from the cell phone. The security guard, seeing a white girl accompanied by a black girl, decides to detain them, deciding that the white girl has been kidnapped. This incident becomes the catalyst for a chain of unforeseen events and acquaintances, rethinking themselves and their relationship with the world around them and their outlook on life - for both Emira and Alix. "Such a Funny Age" is a story about privilege, class, social and racial differences. But first and foremost, this book is about the young - present and yesterday, their anxieties and aspirations, their search for themselves and their future, their illusions and deceptions and, of course, their love. It is a book about an age that is both marvelous and tragic, and certainly funny - from the outside.
