when the seventh one is born, she decides to just raise it as a girl and be done with it. but son after son keeps coming out of her body. but it's not - it is just a deeply sad novel about a woman whose childhood was so troubled and whose relationship with her own mother so emotionally and physically abusive, that all she wants out of her adult life is a baby girl, to treat the way she wishes she had been treated - special, cherished, loved, pampered.
i thought it was going to be a novel with a horror twist to it. in real life, it is so glossy and eerily airbrushed, and that creepy doll. I was first drawn to this book because of the cover. there were moments when i kind of wanted to compress scenes or cross out redundancies but it never prevented me from getting caught up in the story. This is another book where he is not a fantastic writer, but he is a good storyteller. He thinks that something has gone wrong in a serious way.Is this the best book i have ever read about a child raised as the gender their parents wanted them to be instead of what their genitals wanted them to be? The Peace family does not remain in peace when the truth is finally revealed and Perfect does not remain perfect anymore psychologically. During the story we observe several ups and downs in emotions and moods.
The serious story is narrated by Ron Butler. The rest of the family also starts a debate on gender issue which goes far beyond their control as well. It was easier said than done because Perfect gets torn up in thoughts and he cannot believe that his own mother has treated him in such a way. Emma said that it will only take a little while and Perfect will cope with the situation very easily later on. Now his mother wanted Perfect to leave everything aside and start adjusting to the new circumstances.
Perfect was not a girl rather she was a boy and her mother faked the entire thing because she wanted a girl. Later eight years pass in the same way and on one rare occasion Emma tells Perfect that she lied to everyone about him. That is something which the mother tells everyone and also to the child when it grows up. Perfect happens to be the seventh child in the Peace family and she is a girl. Don’t Cry for Me and The Sacred Place have strange stories but this one is the strangest because it is about a family which starts treating the youngest in the family in a strange way. A clash of genders and certain issues related to the thing will get discussed in this strange topic selected by the author Daniel Black.
