City of a Thousand Feelings by Anya Johanna DeNiro

5.0

Taking place over thirty years, this story of trans women seeking acceptance when they are consistently denied entrance to the spaces where others are accepted was incredibly profound. Indeed, it is one that I will be reading again, as I can see that this is a story that will reveal something new each time it is read. This is especially true of the ending, when the main character is able to gain entrance into the city, to find that perhaps it is not what she thought, and that perhaps she doesn't need the acceptance of those in the city after all.
