Although this is a children's book, it's very enjoyable - and has actually won a national award for Best Children's Literature Book. The story is an almost-biography of the author's eldest sister, from her birth till the day she got married. It's very exciting to read about all the different places she visited and lived - the language is very immediate and descriptive, and Ninet herself is a lively, mischievous girl you just love to read about.
