Sinopsis

Like Margaret Atwood’s Cat’s Eye, Anomaly explores the dynamics of female relationships in a Toronto that many people remember, but that no longer exists. Set in the 1970s as the city evolved into an international hub, the novel centers around four women: two sisters, Glynnis and Carol, just coming of age, their troubled mother, Mrs. Riggs, and an elderly neighbor, Miss Balls, whose most vivid memories are of her days as a young nurse in World War II. As the two girls struggle to navigate their stormy relationship, the events of a turbulent era are reflected in the lives of all four women. Each suffers a loss of innocence — and so too does the city. Detailed, emotionally complex, and rich with exceptionally well-drawn characters, Anomaly is a debut novel that lives up to its promise.

Reseña del editor

Anomaly contains four unforgettable voices: two sisters who grow to adulthood during the 1970s and early 1980s, their conflicted mother, and an elderly neighbour. This is a story about lost time and space, it also explores the dynamics of sisterhood, and shows how two girls - both of them "anomalies" in very different ways - navigate their stormy relationship. The overarching theme is loss of innocence for a quartet of characters and for Toronto, a complex city evolving during a pivotal decade into an international urban centre.
