Massive literary debut. The book immediately appeared on the American, and then the world, bestseller lists, where it spent almost a year. Emira is a young black nanny looking after the little daughter of a successful businesswoman, Alix. One late evening, Alix asks Emir to urgently take the girl out of the house, because an emergency has happened. Emira takes her ward to the mall, out of boredom they start dancing to the music from the mobile phone. The guard, seeing a white girl accompanied by a black girl, decides to detain them, thinking that the white girl was kidnapped. This incident becomes a catalyst for a whole chain of unforeseen events and acquaintances, a rethinking of oneself and one's relationship with the outside world and outlook on life - both for Emira and for Alix. Such a Funny Age is a story about privilege, class, social and racial differences. But first of all, this book is about the young - present and yesterday, about their anxieties and aspirations, about the search for themselves and their future, about illusions and deceptions, and, of course, about love. This is a book about an age that is both wonderful and tragic, and certainly funny - from the outside.
