“A smart, intersectional feminist tour de force.” —Washington Times
From Gabrielle Zevin, beloved author of the international bestsellers Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow and The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry, comes another story with unforgettable characters that is particularly suited to the times we live in now.
This is the story of five women...
Meet Rachel Grossman.
She’ll stop at nothing to protect her daughter, Aviva, even if it ends up costing her everything.
Meet Jane Young.
She’s disrupting a quiet life with her daughter, Ruby, to seek political office for the first time.
Meet Ruby Young.
She thinks her mom has a secret. She’s right.
Meet Embeth Levin.
She’s made a career of cleaning up her congressman husband’s messes.
Meet Aviva Grossman.
The internet won’t let her or anyone else forget her past transgressions.
“It’s brilliant and hilarious. . . . It has a heart. And a spine. It’s exactly what we need more of right now.” —Chicago Tribune
“Splendid. . . . [Zevin’s] vibrant and playful writing, and the fully realized characters taking turns as narrator, bring the story a zestful energy.” —Booklist
