Customer Reviews

How this won awards is a true testament to the times

Do your homework on this book before wasting money and time it takes to read the 1000+ pages of drivel. If you hate America and men and believe we, as humans, can truly stop the evolutionary process of climate change, then this book is for you. That is, provided, you can get through the unnecessarily long novel. If this is the type of novels winning awards today, I’m truly saddened.

Extraordinary

The most accurate encapsulation of the anxiety, grief, and fear of being a woman, and a mother, in the Trump era, and a tremendous achievement in terms of both form and prose. I’ve recommended it to everyone I know.
