Anomaly contains four unforgettable voices: two sisters who grow to adulthood during the 1970s and early 1980s, their conflicted mother, and an elderly neighbour. This is a story about lost time and space, it also explores the dynamics of sisterhood, and shows how two girls - both of them "anomalies" in very different ways - navigate their stormy relationship. The overarching theme is loss of innocence for a quartet of characters and for Toronto, a complex city evolving during a pivotal decade into an international urban centre.
