Notes

A zany novel on Joan, dropped on her head at birth. Joan grows to be a dwarf unable to speak, but able to mimic sound to the point of even playing the piano. The novel describes the impact she has on her family: Joan's 15-year-old mother, Joan's lesbian grandmother, her homosexual grandfather, and the grandfather's male lover, none other than Joan's father. By the author of We So Seldom Look on Love.
