Anomaly

Set in Toronto in the 1970s, this moving, evocative novel centers on four voices: those of sisters Glynnis and Carol, whose childhood traumas leave them ill-prepared for adulthood; that of their conflicted mother, Mrs. Riggs; and that of elderly neighbor Miss Balls, who lives in her memories of being a young nurse during World War II.Anomalymasterfully explores sisterhood and the loss of innocence in particular, how two "anomalous" girls navigate a chaotic relationship and, more generally, how a society's dizzying changes affect four women from three generations.Fleming, Anne is the author of 'Anomaly', published 2007 under ISBN 9781551929422 and ISBN 1551929422.
