Children of the Moon
by Anthony De Sa

De Sa’s first two novels explored 1970s Toronto from inside the Portuguese community. For his latest book, he goes farther afield and farther back in time. In Tanzania in 1956, a child with albinism is viewed as a curse, and her turbulent upbringing pushes her toward a young man from Mozambique who has also been cast aside. $33, May 7. Penguin Random House.
