Sunley’s metaphor of bird flight challenges the concept of borders-who they protect and who they keep in and out-as “becoming animal” provides a way for Freya and other women to resist being confined by the borders that divide nation-states by relying on hierarchical structures that favor certain humans over (animal)-others. Andrews argues that the protagonist, Freya, in “becoming animal” and taking flight as she makes the discovery of her parentage, subverts notions of exceptionality on both sides of the border. Sanctioned by the Canadian government between 19, this practice resulted in the removal of roughly 300,000 children from their white unwed mothers, who were deemed unfit because of their marital status and/or mental health. This chapter considers how Christina Sunley’s The Tricking of Freya (2009) portrays the multi-generational impact and legacy of forced adoption on one Icelandic-Canadian family. ![]()
