Set in the 1970s as the city evolved into an international hub, the novel centers around four women: two sisters, Glynnis and Carol, just coming of age, their troubled mother, Mrs. Riggs, and an elderly neighbor, Miss Balls, whose most vivid memories are of her days as a young nurse in World War II. As the two girls struggle to navigate their stormy relationship, the events of a turbulent era are reflected in the lives of all four women. Each suffers a loss of innocence — and so too does the city. Detailed, emotionally complex, and rich with exceptionally well-drawn characters, \u003ci\u003eAnomaly\u003c\/i\u003e is a debut novel that lives up to its promise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Raincoast Book Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47053983908080,"sku":"9781551928319","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781551928319_p0.jpg?v=1763785141","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781551928319","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
