Women who refuse the life they were handed

Three women who wouldn't stay where they were put.


Book 1

The Wilderness

Angela Flournoy

READ IT

Read it. Friendship between women is a love story, too, and this one is allowed to be complicated.

Book 2

Theory & Practice

Michelle de Kretser

FOR SOME

For some. Smart, prickly, and deliberately difficult. I liked arguing with it almost as much as reading it.

Book 3

Audition

Katie Kitamura

SKIP IT

Skip it. Very clever. Perhaps too clever for me. By the end I wasn't certain who belonged to whom, and I discovered I didn't particularly care.

Now tell me what you’re reading. Have you read any of these? Or something better? Bring it to the Reading Room.
