A novel of increasing relevance regarding gender reassignment.
Winner of the James Tait Black Memorial Prize
At the age of six, in 1952, Mary Ward, the child of a poor farming family in Suffolk, has a revelation.
She isn't Mary. She's a boy. An inexplicable mistake has been made and, somehow, it will have to be rectified...So begins Mary's heroic struggle to change gender, while all around her others too fight to discover a place of meaning in a savage and confusing world.
'Brilliant... a strong, complex, unsentimental novel, luscious in some passages, wonderfully restrained in others'
Times Literary Supplement
'Rose Tremain writes comedy that can break your heart... Her book is one to admire and enjoy. It is funny, absorbing and quite original. I've read nothing to touch it this year' Literary Review
'A remarkable novel... The product of a truly original mind, whose inventions are magically unforeseeable' The Times.
