The dual perspectives elegantly enact themes of transition and relationality. Bellies is a novel about feeling seen.
A keenly observed and unflinching examination of that journey and its emotional, social and physical consequences, both for the individual and the people close to them.
It divides itself, with apt fluidity, between both lovers’ perspectives.
Writes with quiet authority, insight, and compassion. The result is a beautiful work of literature with fully realized, highly empathic characters; her treatment of Ming’s transition is superbly and insightfully handled. An important contribution to the slender body of transgender literature..
