Trans-Sister Radio

by Chris Bohjalian

Synopses & Reviews

Review:

Trans-Sister Radio…bears Bohjalian’s hallmark: ordinary people in heartbreaking circumstances behaving with grace and dignity…. Speaks directly to the heart.”San Francisco Chronicle

Review:

“Bohjalian has…written an interesting [and] ultimately, a quite daring novel, and a worthy successor to Midwives. Like that novel, Trans-Sister Radio challenges readers’ most dearly held notions of biological reality.”Philadelphia Inquirer

Review:

“An insightful look at love and sexuality…with great compassion and insight.”Los Angeles Times

Review:

“A though-provoking tale with a rich, varied texture…. [An] addictive read.”The Denver Post
