Description: Only the Women are Burning by Nancy Burke (Paperback, 2020).-- Brand New, Unread.-- Dispatched within one business day.-- Signed by Author Three women are lost in a single morning, one at a commuter train, one at a school, one while walking her dog in the woods. The police think the women are making some kind of political statement by setting themselves on fire....maybe members of a cult. But Cassandra knows better. You won't rest until Cassandra, a mom and former anthropologist, solves the mystery of these fiery deaths. Part mystery, part science fiction, part a suburban domestic novel, Only the Women are Burning asks important questions about women in contemporary suburban lives. Review"With Only the Women are Burning, Nancy Burke has created a novel that defies easy categorization. It's an incredibly plausible science fiction tale that dips into horror. It's a small-town mystery and personal drama. It's a searing feminist condemnation of caste systems and patriarchal oppression.... This is a story that burns in every sense of the word... Burke's prose is vibrant and powerful...Only the Women are Burning is a novel that will linger long after you set it down... may be just the thing to reinvigorate readers who have grown jaded with the predictable, usual fare." -- Criminal Element"A compelling mystery with an engaging look at suburban womanhood" -- Foreword Clarion Reviews"Nancy Burke delivers a novel that is intriguing and a plot that is wholly unique in Only the Women are burning" -- Readers' Favorite (5-star review)From the AuthorIdeal for women's book groups and discussions, Only the Women are Burning asks questions about contemporary women's lives.
