eat and you belong to us

Grands is a trans grandparent. Jaime is their genderqueer grandchild. They are both obsessed with Joan of Arc. Grands wakes up from gender affirmative surgery speaking French and claiming they survived a fire. The same day, Jaime, who has been pretending to be Joan of Arc for weeks, goes missing.

    I can't recommend this enough! Between the mythical elements and genderqueer representation, this is definitely something I think everyone should read!

    A mythical and magical exploration of gender identity and empowerment. I think what I loved most of all was the acknowledgment that there is often exclusion even in non-conforming groups, and the move toward greater acceptance. A beautiful inter-generational and inclusive work.

    I absolutely loved how the characters represented the LGBTQNC community - and the magical way in which genderfluidity, trans, and non-conforming identities are explored through the myth/legend/history of Joan of Arc.
