- Synopsis
- Chronicles the coming-of-age of young Anna as she struggles to survive and thrive in an obsessively private and increasingly abusive family. Though her mother was educated at Radcliffe, after being deserted by her well-to-do husband she becomes careless and promiscuous. She marries an older man who turns out to be a a child-beater and child-molester, and they live in squalor. Anna struggles to protect her many siblings from these terrible odds and from her stepfather's brutality and lechery, as she tries to bring some comfort to her mother. The natural world brings solace to the brave Anna in the form of a pet fawn who lives briefly in the bathroom and in baby owls who accompany her on her shoulders.
