A CBC-Scotiabank Giller Prize Readers' Choice Contest Top 10
The 14 stories in this Richards Prize-winning collection capture pivotal underappreciated moments in the lives of girls and women. From childhood through adolescence, parenthood, and life as a whole, disparate decades and narrative voices are woven together through experiences of sex, death, and social prejudice.
And love, always love…a girl discovers a fear of heights as her parents’ marriage unravels; a thirty-something venture fund manager frets over his daughter’s paternity; an orphan whose hands kill whatever they touch is accused of homophobia; a suicidal daycare worker has a very bad day; a mother of two can only bear to consider abortion in the second person; the wife of a retirement-aged professor finds him unconscious near his computer… The Meaning Of Children speaks to all who—though aware the world can be a very dark place—can’t help but long for redemption.
Women particularly love this book. Intelligent fiction with a beating heart. For more information, please see
