Looking for something different! This could be the read for you.
'Strange' is the word that kept coming to mind as I read. The protagonist is the strange child of the strange couple that moves into a strange town. This child explores a strange zoo run by some strange women and learns about the history of their relationships with some strange men. However, once I was able to set the strangeness aside I realised the story was all about self-perception, coming of age, marginalised people (including people of colour, non-binary people, people with disabilities and mental illness), feminism, animal rights and individual freedom. Thought provoking...

Being a fan of QI, I am interested to see what she writes and this sounds great.
Set in small-town USA during the 1960s, this funny and poignant novel charts the development of ten-year old Dorothy who discovers that she has more to aspire to than the future roles of wife and mother.
