INSCRIPTION FROM BEATRICE MACNEIL on title page; Clean, tight, unmarked; light wear to inside corners; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; appears unread; Destined for limbo because of her illegitimacy, and labeled "retarded" because of a learning disability, young Mari-Jen Delene retreats into silence. Around her revolves a vividly drawn cast of characters: her mother Adele; Misha, a Polish Jew; the willful, bitter Mother Superior; and her powerfully intelligent twin brothers, who sleep beside a map of the world they long to explore. Brilliantly imagined and buoyed by the clear-eyed perceptions of youth, it is an eloquent and profound story from a gifted writer. Very Good Soft cover Key Porter Books 2009 Toronto, ON
