✨Devastation Lit✨

I picked this off the galley shelf at work based solely on the cover, and it ended up being one of my very favorite reads of the year so far. This is for readers who love a strong (if somewhat unconventional for the time) heroine, litfic, historical fiction, and feminist fiction. We get to follow Mae through decades of her life, which I always love - give me the full story! There are strong themes of motherhood, what it takes to be secure in a time when women don't have equal rights, obligations to family and society, and a rich, complex inner life.
I started this book via audio, but wanted to read it more quickly than audio generally allows me. The narrator is terrific, so I can happily recommend both the audio and print formats.
Out December 1 - if you're into pre-ordering, I recommend adding this to your cart, and checking with your local Bookstores to see if they'll have it.
