Cinderella Girl - unpleasant story, terrible translation submitted by cmeza on August 16, 2022, 8:59pm This book should carry a pedophilia warning as well as a heads-up to those who dislike reading a drawn-out situation about an abandoned 3-year old repeatedly injuring herself while trying to survive alone in an apartment. Apart from that, it's all fun and games and a poster child for the perils of translating into your non-native language rather than from it. Some of the word choices are simply inadequate, others are howlers--denizens of Stockholm are sitting at the kitchen of their city apartment drinking "moonshine." Really? Give this author and her translators another chance and read Black Ice instead.
