I would have read this in the early/mid-1980s. The story is 1st person from a young man’s perspective - he may have a dog and motorcycle - and is set in the city. He finds a little girl who has been abandoned and takes her back to where he lives, and when his housekeeper(?) is washing her they see that she has been beaten. She has a joy of discovery and they go on adventures and at one point he makes her a ‘mirror book’ out of two small cosmetic mirrors. At the end of the story she has an accident (falls on some railings?) and dies in his arms. Quite poetic and ‘moody’ in a 1970s way, possibly incorporating discussions between them about God.
