What it takes to be human

By Marilyn Bowering

Canadian fiction, Disabilities fiction, General fiction, Serious and literary fiction, War stories

Human-narrated audio

Summary

Sandy Grey wants to enlist in the Second World War but his father, a fundamentalist preacher, refuses to let him, fearing that the world is living its last days. When Sandy's attempts to oppose his father turn violent, the setting… shifts to the fragmented world of an asylum for the criminally insane. The characters are pushed to the very edge of civilization, love and sanity, as are those whose lives are being torn apart by war. Some descriptions of sex and violence and some strong language. 2006.
