Can Wendy unravel the mystery of her grandfather’s world and reckon with the culture that both shaped and rejected her? She’s determined to try. At first she dismisses this revelation, but as Wendy’s life grows increasingly volatile, she finds herself aching for the lost pieces of her Opa’s truth. When her Oma passes away Wendy receives an unexpected phone call from a distant family friend with a startling secret: Wendy’s Opa (grandfather)–a devout Mennonite farmer–might have been transgender himself. It’s the dead of winter in Winnipeg and Wendy Reimer, a thirty-year-old trans woman, feels like her life is frozen in place. This month we’re looking forward to Little Fish (Arsenal Pulp Press), the debut novel from Casey Plett, author of the Lammy-winning short story collection A Safe Girl to Love. Rejoice! This month brings fresh new LGBTQ books to add to your reading list! New in May: Casey Plett, Tommy Pico, Nicola Griffith, Stephen McCauley, and North Morgan
