Sacred Country (häftad, eng)

From the author of The Gustav Sonata

At the age of six, Mary Ward, the child of a poor farming family in Suffolk, has a revelation: ''I am not Mary. That is a mistake. I am not a girl. I''m a boy.'' So begins a heroic struggle to change gender, while around her others also strive to find a place of safety and fulfilment in a savage and confusing world.
