The Change by Kirsten Miller
5.0
FAVORITE BOOK OF 2022!!! I absolutely LOVED The Change - and like some of the very best books I've ever read, it's hard to put into words exactly why. Order it right now. Pick it up without knowing anything else other than that it's an adventure you won't want to miss. Make it your book club book. Convince your best friends to read it with you. Read it and share quotes with each other and discuss it.
If you need a little more - the tag line on the book is "It's not over. It's time." There is marketing copy that reads "A gloriously entertaining and knife-sharp feminist revenge fantasy about three women whose midlife crises bring unexpected new powers - putting them on a collision course with the evil that lurks in their wealthy beach town." COME ON! Doesn't that draw you right in?
You want to know more? Okay - three women discover a dead body on the beach in the town where they live. They are determined to learn more about who she was and who killed her - and make sure the right person/people are punished. But even more than that - it's such a fiercely feminist story about how women truly come into their wisdom and power as they age. Right as our patriarchal society starts to write women off, they are really just coming into their strength. I love these three women so much - Harriet, Jo and Nessa are all characters that will live in my mind for a long time.
Thank you to William Morrow for the free review copy. As soon as I finished I also preordered a finished copy - this is a book I know I'll want to reread in the future.
