The Japanese believe that until the age of three, children are
gods, each one an okosama, or 'Lord Child'. On their third birthday
they fall from grace and join the rest of mankind. Narrated by a
child - from the age of two and a half up until her third birthday
- this novel reveals how this fall from grace can be a very
difficult thing indeed from which to recover. 'Nothomb potently
distils from the state of infancy the intensity of beginnings, the
precariousness, the trailed clouds of glory - that grow indistinct
as childhood approaches.' New York Times 'Amelie Nothomb, like an
urchin about to pick your pocket, has frighteningly clear eyes and
a disarming voice with a wicked snap.' Luc Sante
