Book of Exemplary Women
from YesYes Books
In Book of Exemplary Women, a ghost is passed across three generations of women who carry each other’s unspoken regrets and unfulfilled desires. Teen girls contend with mortality as they challenge the borders of possibility. Young women resist erasure and the desire to disappear. Across different stages of life, women strain against the expectations that rule their lives with quiet rebellion, bending and breaking to find new forms large enough to contain all that they carry.
