Review
A rare bookwise, warm and witty all at once.”—Montreal Gazette
Synopsis
Camille Deslauriers is an eleven-year-old girl whose coming of age is complicated by a very particular problem: not only are her parents separated, but her father has, through a series of operations, become a woman.
Also an award-winning film, Sex of the Stars is very contemporary, very urban fiction, in which loneliness, sexual identity and the need and desire for love and acceptance are explored with wit, elegance and intense humanity.
