A FIERCE, DARK FABLE ABOUT MOTHERHOOD THAT WILL GRIP YOU IN ITS TALONS AND NEVER LET GO

Tiny is pregnant. Her husband is delighted. ''It''s not yours,'' she tells him. ''This baby will be an owl-baby.'' Tiny''s always been an outsider, and she knows her child will be different.

When Chouette is born, Tiny''s husband and family are devastated by her condition and strange appearance. Doctors tell them to expect the worst. Chouette won''t learn to walk; she never speaks; she lashes out when frightened and causes chaos in public. Tiny''s husband wants to make her better: ''Don''t you want our daughter to have a normal life?'' But Tiny thinks Chouette is perfect the way she is.

As Tiny and her husband fight over what''s right for their child, Chouette herself is growing. In her fierce self-possession, her untameable will, she teaches Tiny to break free of expectations - no matter what it takes.

Savage, startling, possessed of a biting humour and wild love, Chouette is a dark modern fable about mothering an unusual child. It will grip you in its talons and never let go.
