Beschreibung

When a sociologist finds herself the mother of a gifted but reluctant boy soprano, she plunges unexpectedly into the world of boys-only choirs, exploring the deeper meanings of a centuries-old tradition that celebrates the gender fluidity of boy’s voices.  Combining interviews with the first-person perspective of motherhood, she considers how this ancient tradition can help contemporary boys enter manhood more comfortable with emotional expression.
