A Curious Child
Autor Richard Walkeren Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 noi 2025
In a Cairo clinic, Ronny recovers from gender-affirming surgery. Her grandmother, mother and then Ronny herself sift through their pasts in search of what has led to this radical self-transformation. From decades of Home Counties respectability emerge buried family secrets – of hidden love, thwarted hopes and desires, stifled by conformity and the bonds of duty from which Ronny has broken free. First published in 1989, A Curious Child is innovative for being written from the perspective of a transgender person and her family. Amaurea Press is very happy to be bringing this back into print.

Recenzii
“Entirely admirable account of the decline and degeneration of a prosperous, ‘normal’, middle-class English family. The prose is consistently exquisite.” (The Times)
“Beautifully observed social tragic-comedy ... the depiction of the older generation’s hopes and frustrations is quite remarkable.” (Punch)
“A remarkably daring first novel.” (The Scotsman)
“Richard Walker is a master of the time-splicing device ... an impressive first novel.” (The Irish Times)
“An intelligent, thought-provoking novel ... a welcome antidote to all those sweetness-and-light family sagas.” (Forum)
