Query: very dark, sadly funny, very complex

The orphan status of the protagonist, Portia, not to mention the circumstances around her birth, provides strong sense of uprooted, transient, and precarious nature of out existence. The world through this teenage girl's eyes seems non-sensical civility and pretentious righteousness, and ironically, surrounded by quite juvenile mischievousness. This book is quite a complex and throughly psychological testimony on, sort of, coming of age experience. Not a casual read because of its deeply introspective writing, and quite visual that sometimes reads like a play on stage.
