Synopsis

In a Cairo clinic, Ronny recovers from gender-affirming surgery. Her grandmother, mother and then Ronny herself sift through their pasts in search of what has led to this radical self-transformation. From decades of Home Counties respectability emerge buried family secrets - of hidden love, thwarted hopes and desires, stifled by conformity and the bonds of duty from which Ronny has broken free.

First published in 1989, A Curious Child is innovative for being written from the perspective of a transgender person and her family. Amaurea Press is very happy to be bringing this back into print. Now with an Introduction, written by Dr Kit Heyam, author of 'Before We Were Trans: A New History of Gender.'

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Richard Walker spent part of his childhood in Ghana, read English at Oxford, and worked in Canada, Spain and Kuwait, before joining the British Council. Much of his subsequent professional life was spent travelling the world as a senior Director for the British Council. This brought him postings in Bangkok, New Delhi, Sao Paolo, Lagos, Cyprus, Athens, Brussels and Hong Kong. Now he divides his time between his home in Oxford, and the house and garden he and Lauren created by a Venetian town in the Peloponnese. Several of his stories and plays have been broadcast by the BBC, and in 1989 he published his first novel, A Curious Child. Innovative for being written from the perspective of a transgender person, this is also due to be republished by Amaurea Press in 2025. He was awarded an OBE in 1998 for Indo-British cultural relations.
