Krupitsky gives these women voice.BOOK CLUB APPEAL: This novel is ideal for book clubs to dissect and analyze the complicated bonds of female friendship, marriage, and family secrets, as well as the pressure placed on women in history to conform to a certain mold, and how that conformity changes a person—not to mention charting the history of one of New York’s most infamous neighbourhoods.Competition: Still Life;My Brilliant Friend;Lamplighters;Small Pleasures;Life After Life;Manhattan Beach;Hamnet;A Single Thread.
