{"product_id":"annabel-9780802170828","title":"Annabel","description":"Kathleen Winter's luminous debut novel is a deeply affecting portrait of life in an enchanting seaside town and the trials of growing up unique in a restrictive environment. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 1968, into the devastating, spare atmosphere of the remote coastal town of Labrador, Canada, 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 a 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 hyper-masculine hunting society of his father, his shadow-self, a girl he thinks of as \"Annabel,\" is never entirely extinguished. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKathleen Winter has crafted a literary gem about the urge to unveil mysterious truth in a culture that shuns contradiction, and the body's insistence on coming home. A daringly unusual debut full of unforgettable beauty, \u003ci\u003e Annabel\u003c\/i\u003e introduces a remarkable new voice to American readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press, Black Cat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/04\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802170828\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.60w x 1.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Scotiabank Giller Prize - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Governor General's Literary Awards - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew Yorker (The)\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/07\/2011 pg. 83\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2010 pg. 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/20\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2010 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2010 pg. 109\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/05\/2011 pg. 12\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/16\/2011 pg. 18\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Best Books\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2011 pg. 2067\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eQuill \u0026amp; Quire Books of the Yr\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2010 pg. 24\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Kathleen Winter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36643467165852,"sku":"9780802170828","price":13.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_63f756a0-0398-4936-89f1-572ec84a9078.jpg?v=1603856675","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/annabel-9780802170828","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
