In the wake of her sister's death, Isabelle moves from her home in California to her birthplace in Mexico to take over the running of the family tuna company. There, she discovers a wild child - a thing with no name, who turns out to be the autistic niece she never knew she had. So she sets herself the task of turning it into a human being - a human being named Karen. To start, she tries to get her to say her first word: 'Me'. And then begins the greatest journey of all, as Karen learns how to become 'Me'. It is a voyage of discovery that will take her to the bottom of the ocean, and into the heart of the world.

Review
'Gifted Mexican playwright and novelist Sabina Berman's Me has won my heart, and will yours. This untamed, disarming wild child who sits on the beach of a Mexican fishing village, shouting at the sea, slowly learns to explore and fully inhabit her intensely felt universe. Karen Nieto, who progresses from inarticulate niece, to tuna boat-hand, scuba diver, college savant, marine ecologist, business tycoon, world traveller - and, yes, even total failure - offers her readers an unforgettable glimpse of the delights, the comedy and the heartbreak each of us ultimately experiences as we dive into the heart of the tenuous, ever-changing world' --Laura Esquivel, author of Like Water for Chocolate
Already hailed as one of the most important Latin American novels of this century, this comes recommended by Laura Esquivel, author of Like Water for Chocolate. In the wake of her sister s death, Isabelle moves home to take over the family business and discovers an autistic niece she never knew existed --Red

As I was reading this book i couldn't stop thinking of Temple Grandin. I found this slightly off putting, I would have preferred it to be either her story, or more unique. Very interesting read
