THE CURE FOR WOMEN: Dr. Mary Putnam Jacobi and the Challenge to Victorian Medicine That Changed Women’s Lives Forever by Lydia Reeder | 9781250284457 | 12/3/24
Request on Edelweiss and NetGalley
“Reeder’s winsomely written narrative touches on issues strikingly similar to ones widely discussed today, including women’s ongoing frustration with the lack of robust medical study of the female body and the troubling reemergence of reactionary assertions that women are by design not fit for work. It’s an urgent and revealing slice of history.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review

Request on Edelweiss and NetGalley

Request on Edelweiss and NetGalley
“Moss’s astute debut chronicles a London woman’s toxic relationship with an older man… Moss keenly portrays how Enola’s sense of self-worth becomes tied to B’s perception of her. It’s an arresting portrait of manipulation.”—Publishers Weekly
TROUBLE ISLAND by Sharon Short | 9781250292841 | 12/3/24
Request on Edelweiss and NetGalley
“A woman stumbles across a murder victim while escaping from a remote island in this deliciously twisty standalone from Short (the Kinship series, as Jess Montgomery)… Aurelia’s urgent first-person narration bestows the narrative with plenty of tension, which Short supplements with well-drawn supporting characters and several devilish reversals. Readers will have little trouble finishing this in a single sitting.”—Publishers Weekly
ALTER EGO by Alex Segura | 9781250801777 | 12/3/24
Request on Edelweiss and NetGalley
“Crime and comics make for a lively mix in Segura’s enticing follow-up to SECRET IDENTITY… Segura’s plotting is vivid and fast-paced, and his experience as a comics artist lends depth to the proceedings, with gorgeous excerpts from Annie’s in-progress Legendary Lynx comic sprinkled throughout. This will thrill traditional mystery fans and comics devotees alike.”—Publishers Weekly
PRIVATE RITES by Julia Armfield | 9781250344311 | 12/3/24
Request on Edelweiss and NetGalley
“Armfield (OUR WIVES UNDER THE SEA) offers a grim and absorbing retelling of KING LEAR set in a damp near-future city resembling London… Armfield succeeds at conjuring her characters’ existential fears. This well-wrought family drama is tough to shake.”—Publishers Weekly
