I will need to do some homework to find out who this is!

Mr. Vivian has something in common with Ms. Luca: a name that most people don’t think of as unisex. Lol

The one that really got me was Jody. Before reading an American novel in high school I had only ever seen that as a female name!

Let me guess @Callistemon--The Yearling by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings?

I knew a male Jody actually! He was a very nice man.

I don't recall reading that one - should I remedy this? It might have been in Steinbeck's "The Red Pony" which is really gruesome, or in "My Friend Flicka" and its sequels, which I read when I was 12. :)

@Callistemon if you like Florida, off-grid living, Pulitzer winners, and slightly gruesome novels about pet deer, you'll like Rawlings' book.

I'll see if the library has it. Looked up that film link though and that looks right up our street - the plot sounds hilarious already and the reviews are excellent. Brett even recognises some of the actors!
