A Murmur of Men

Lily Bridges grows up in a small Ontario village surrounded by hard-working men. Her coming- of-age story is a journey from six to twenty-five, when she is a Toronto streetcar driver. In each chapter Lily is drawn into a relationship with a different man, who helps her uncover the sagacious realities of growing up and the fragility of secrets and lies. Fourteen men take Lily on tantalizing emotional journeys that throw her into the alien realities of homelessness, transgender identity, forbidden love, death, adolescent desire, kinesthetic energy, and even walking on the moon.
