Thelma Barley, the narrator of Toronto writer Camilla Gibb’s first novel, Mouthing the Words, survives childhood sexual abuse at the hands of her father and the emotional bludgeoning of her vain, capricious mother to become a feminist lawyer. Thelma is the first-born of Douglas, son of an impoverished English peacock farmer, and Corinna, a well-intentioned but daft mother who was educated at a Swiss finishing school. Gibb evokes an emotionally clenched, eccentric provenance for her characters, one in which frustration and rage incubate a family narrative of savage cruelty.
