How The Light Gets In by M. J. Hyland
A poignant exploration of adolescence and identity, this novel follows the journey of a 16-year-old Australian girl who travels to America as an exchange student, hoping to escape her troubled family life. As she navigates the complexities of her host family's dynamics and the cultural differences she encounters, she grapples with feelings of alienation and the search for belonging. Her experiences lead to a deeper understanding of herself and the realization that the light she seeks might be found within her own resilience and capacity for change.
