His hard-working father seems to favor him. That is until his dad detects there's something a little queer about the boy.

2017., Adult, Hamish Hamilton Canada Call No: QWF Fic Rob Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "A story of love, lust, and the spaces in between.(). It is 1950, and nine-year-old Willa's sheltered childhood is about to come to an end. After Willa's dad leaves, her mother's beau arrives with his two sons to her family's summer home in British Columbia. As Willa's older sister pairs off with the older of these boys, Willa finds herself alone in the off-kilter company of the younger, Patrick. When, one afternoon, Patrick lures Willa into a dilapidated rowboat, Willa embarks upon an increasingly damaging relationship with Patrick, one that will forever reconfigure her understanding of herself and her place in a menacing, male-dominated world. Demi-Gods traces the tumultuous years of Willa's coming-of-age as she is drawn further into Patrick's wicked games, and as both are drawn to the seductive promise of California. Though they see each other only a handful of times, each of their encounters is increasingly charged with sexuality and degradation. When Willa finally realizes the danger of her relationship with Patrick, she desperately tries to reverse their dynamic, with devastating results. Daring, singular, and provocative, Demi-Gods explores a girl's attempt to make a life of her own choosing in a world where women's independence is suspect, a world that threatens to claim a woman's body as a mere object for men's pleasure. A sensitive, playful, and entirely original evocation of the dualities within ourselves and our history, Eliza Robertson's debut novel announces the arrival of one of the most exciting new voices in contemporary literature."--From publisher.
