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. 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?
