Book Synopsis Quint is a dazzling and inventive novel based on a true story of the Dionne quintuplets-the first quintuplets known to have survived their infancy. Born during the Great Depression, the quintuplets are taken from their homes and turned into a tourist attraction in Canada in the 1940s, leading to a lifelong struggle against the abuses of their profiteers. In the vein of Zadie Smiths NW and Valeria Luisellis Lost Children Archives , Quint takes the reader on an unforgettable journey into a little-known part of North American history.
