A quiet little dream of a book, Plett is such a fine writer. Reminds me of Proulx. Even if you're not interested in LGBTQIA issues, this book stands perfectly fine on its literary merits (and has significant resonance if you do care about LGBTQIA stuff). Also refreshing to read about Canada; Plett follows in the footsteps of Jiaqing Wilson-Yang really beautifully in the small town Canada trans femme memoir vein. Fuck! Get your life!
