Chouette by Claire Oshetsky
CHOUETTE by CLAIRE OSHETSKY
A fantasy novel about a woman who gets pregnant with and gives birth to an owl-baby, or an allegorical look at mothering a child with special needs in a world where everyone must conform? Either/or. Both. You decide.
Of course, this novel could have fallen into the trap of being too heavy handed with its messages about letting children be who they are, but don’t worry, there is plenty of grey area. And we love grey area and untrustworthy narrators (note I didn’t say ‘unreliable’).
