In 1968, into the beautiful, spare environment of remote coastal Labrador, a mysterious child is born: a baby who appears to be neither fully boy nor girl, but both at once. Only three people are privy to the secret -- the baby's parents, Jacinta and Treadway, and a trusted neighbour, Thomasina. Together the adults make a difficult decision: to raise the child as a boy named Wayne. But as Wayne grows to adulthood within the hyper-masculine hunting culture of his father, his shadow-self -- a girl he thinks of as 'Annabel' -- is never entirely extinguished, and indeed is secretly nurtured by the women in his life. Haunting and sweeping in scope, 'Annabel' is a compelling tale about one person's struggle to discover the truth in a culture that shuns contradiction.
