Originally published in 1998, Childhood introduced many readers to the virtuosic talents of André Alexis, one of Canadas most cherished writers and supreme stylists.

Raised in a Southern Ontario town in the 50s and 60s, Thomas is abandoned to the care of his eccentric Trinidadian grandmother. Then, at ten, his mother reclaims him, taking him to the once-splendid Victorian home of a gentle conjurer whose love of science and the imagination becomes an important legacy.
But is he Thomas father? Moving and wryly humorous, Childhood tells the story of a mans quest for what is lost, bringing him closer to the truth about himself.
