An interesting look into the life of one autistic person as told by her mother. It is very clear that the author loves her daughter, and wants her to have a good life, but sometimes it feels a bit infantilizing or like it makes sweeping generalizations. 
It is, however, a very clear look into the world of autism — as seen specifically by Clara when it comes to Jessy, in the late 90s (this is a 2001 book). We have come quite far when it comes to understanding and knowledge of autism since then, but I think this is still a book of value to read. It does not treat autism as pure deficit and often makes reference to 'autistic delight,' which I appreciated.
