About This Item
Vancouver: Raincoast Books. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 2006. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. 1551928310 . About new book, unmarked in crisp DJ. Author's first novel. ; 1.7 x 8.8 x 5.5 Inches; 479 pages; <div>Like Margaret Atwood’s <i>Cat’s Eye,</i> <i>Anomaly</i> 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, <i>Anomaly</i> is a debut novel that lives up to its promise.</div> .
