Book Cover of Exile from Space

Exile from Space

by Judith Merril

The basic story is young woman going to the city for the first time, but there's clearly something a bit odd about this young woman because of how she talks about her education, and about other people... and it quickly becomes apparent that she has not been living with other humans, at least for her teen years. So although she herself is human and passes for human, she has to deal with all these weird things like eating, and shopping, and interacting with humans - such that she might as well be an alien.
