Inhalt
This debut novel is an intimate portrait of the family of a mixed-gendered child born into a remote, blue-collar seaside town in Eastern Canada. In 1968, into the devastating, beautiful landscape of Labrador, a child is born: a baby who appears to be neither fully boy nor fully girl, but both at once. Only three people are privy to the secret - the baby's parents, Jacinta and Treadway, and their trusted neighbor and midwife, Thomasina. Though Treadway makes the difficult decision to raise the child as a boy named Wayne, the women continue to quietly nurture the boy's female side. And as Wayne grows into adulthood within the hypermasculine hunting society of his father, his shadow-self, a girl he thinks of as »Annabel«, is never entirely extinguished. When Wayne finally escapes the confines of his hometown and settles in St.John's, the anonymity of the city grants him the freedom to confront his dual identity.
