| Plot |
| 'Dee Graham, the narrator, writes about her ordeal as a fat girl in the Toronto and Muskoka of the 60s with a mix of candor and indignation we usually share with only our closest friends. Her language is absolutely true - to the ear as well as to the brain. It has all the bravado of stand-up comedy and all the surprise and wonder of a fairytale. Diane Mason has turned a tough and unswerving eye on the emotional politics of Dee's family, and the deep insights into cruelty and tenderness she finds under the jocular surface will stay with readers, I predict, a long, long time. |
