Clytemnestra: A Novel
by Costanza Casati
Stunning Historical Fiction (2/13/2024)
As a fan of mythology, I went into this book hopeful to find a new favorite... It did not disappoint! This was intelligent, emotional, funny, tragic, and full of fierce women. Clytemnenstra was an incredible book for those interested reading about the power women hold andmore
The Divorcees
by Rowan Beaird
'50s culture (1/3/2024)
I enjoyed this story. I had not known much about these divorce 'ranches', thus it was nice reading something with new subject matter. I like the author's style as well. There are strong women not afraid to step out of 50s societal norms. I would definitely recommend.
