About an exuberant little girl that sometimes loves and feels so much, that she can't help but bite and destroy. A brave little girl that goes to battle against a field of nettles without caring about being wounded. A daydreaming little girl that befriends trees and cold mossy rocks and lonely chickens. A stubborn little girl that is haunted by dark shadows yet is brave enough to never back down. A short-tempered little girl that constantly argues with her mother, yet secretly craves nothing more than her mother's cheek against hers. An imaginative little girl that is so good at inventing fantasy world, that her little brother lives in a world of tigers. A precocious little girl that wants nothing more than to stay in her cocoon of a childhood longer, yet slowly grows to realize that change is inevitable.

A super immersive, delicate and quite funny look at childhood in a Mountain village in the 1920s in Austria. Another wonderful novel by Marlen Haushofer. Little Meta is quite something.
